PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) — Trinidadian police are investigating the murders of two people, including an 11-month-old baby, after a gunman invaded a family home in St James, on the outskirts of Port of Spain, early Tuesday morning.
The police said they have no motive as yet for the murders of baby Jaden and his 25-year-old father, Joseph Sutton.

Both were taken to the Port of Spain General Hospital, where they were both pronounced dead.
