Additionally, Jacob has been accused of driving a motor vehicle bearing false number plates.
Mohammed was in the front yard of his home on Katwaroo Trace, Penal in south Trinidad, around 9:15 a.m. on December 12 when a car pulled up next to him, and a man armed with a handgun got out. The gunman approached the 46-year-old and shot him several times before driving off.
Police responding to the shooting intercepted a vehicle in which Jacob and Harroo were travelling, and one Glock 17 pistol with six rounds of nine-millimetre ammunition was found. The two were arrested as suspects in Mohammed’s murder.
