A COUPLE was beaten about the body with an iron crowbar or “pigfoot” early yesterday morning, resulting in the death of a 44-year-old labourer.
Police reports are that around 2 a.m. Claire Nathaniel, 48, was asleep at home with her husband Darren Berkeley, when they were awakened by a noise on the roof. The couple lived at Todd’s Road, Chaguanas where Nathaniel also owns a bar. Upon checking, they were confronted by two men armed with the pigfoot.
The men tied up the couple and began beating both but Berkeley received more blows.
He died at the scene.
The men stole alcohol, cigarettes and jewelry from the house. Berkeley’s body was taken to the San Fernando mortuary. Officers from the Chaguanas Police Station are continuing investigations.
