He has been identified as Zakariah Charles.

Reports say he was brought to the Port of Spain General Hospital around 8 o’clock last night.

He was taken to the hospital where Dr. Sawh pronounced him dead around 8.37pm yesterday.

The corpse was viewed and was said to bare bruises to the entire body.
