PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) – Police are investigating the apparent murder-suicide incident in which a controversial pastor shot and killed his brother, ran over his nephew with his vehicle, set fire to his house, and then shot himself to death.

Police said that pastor Vishnu Lutchmansingh, who claimed to have inherited several billion dollars from an American businessman in 2003, committed the acts following a heated argument with his brother, Krishan Lutchmansingh, at an agricultural area known as Davy-Toby Drive, in Cunupia, south east of Port of Spain.

Pastor Lutchmansingh, who was facing several fraud charges, is reported to have used his licensed firearm to shoot his brother. He then left the scene and drove to another area where, using his car, he broke through a barrier that blocked the road leading to his property.

There he confronted one of his nephews, whose car he shot at several times and then ran Timothy Janitan over with his car.

Lutchmansingh then put the car into reverse gear and drove over his nephew again.

Janitan was taken to Chaguanas Health Facility, where he was treated.

Lutchmansingh then walked into the small house which overlooked a large pond on the land. He proceeded to set fire to the house and as the building burned, he reportedly shot himself.
