Three weekend murders in St Vincent and the Grenadines are engaging the attention of the authorities.

Detective Station Sergeant Trevor Bailey told reporters on Sunday in Kingstown Park, police can confirm three people have been killed in 15 hours

He was speaking where Keon Lawrence was found dead near a riverbank. In August, Lawrence survived a gun attack here, during which he received two gunshots to the chest and a broken arm.

And late Saturday, homicide detectives responded to two calls, the first being in the interior agricultural district of Marriaqua, where the body of Lawrence Marks was found in Yambou around 7 p.m. His body was discovered at the side of the road with what appears to be a gunshot injury to the head.

Three and half hours later, Damien Bloucher, 26, died after being attacked by two men in Glen. It is reported he was at the side of the road liming with friends when he was attacked by two men.

The murder toll in St. Vincent and the Grenadines for 2014 stands at 36 thus far.

The killings come just three weeks after a peace rally in Glen, where there have been several murders since June.

It is widely rumoured that some of the killings are related to drug deal gone sour.
