Two arrested in P.G. murder

It was the kind of ruthless act of violence that used to be unheard of in the laid-back town of Punta Gorda: a man gunned down in his home and his family terrorised by intruders brandishing a gun and a knife. But that’s the fate that met thirty-year-old Ravidio Yat last week Tuesday night, and today, just shy of one week since the shooting, the cops have brought charges against two people they believe were responsible. They are twenty-three year old Peter Cho and thirty year old Mario Noralez, both of Punta Gorda, and the charges against them are murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Yat was shot in the head on the night of October twenty-eighth as he was bathing at his house in the Indianville area of P.G.. His common-law-wife Nereyda Martinez told police that after the shooting, two masked men entered the couple’s home and proceeded to rob her of a cellular phone and took an unspecified amount of cash from Yat’s pants pocket before escaping. A trial will hopefully shed light on a motive for the killing.
