The deceased in the second double killing have been identified as Rose Marie Green, 28, and Douglas Tinglin, a 41-year-old taxi operator, both of Blue Hole in Montpelier.
Reports are that about 3:30 pm, the two were headed home when they were attacked by unknown assailants in their community.
They ran in different directions, but were shot and killed.
Meanwhile, 50-year-old vendor Victor Kerr and 27-year-old Michael Thompson, both of Stone Mill, St James addresses were killed in the first incident.
