Police have detained a 35-year-old New Grant man in connection with the brutal murders of two Mayaro siblings who were chopped to death on Wednesday night.

The bodies of the 21-year old man and his 16-year old sister, were found at the suspect’s home with gaping chop wounds.

Reporter Cindy Raghubar-Teekersingh went to the scene of the double-murder in Princes Town and then visited relatives in Mayaro on Thursday for this story.
