Were Drugs The Motive for Ladyville Double Homicide?
There are several unanswered questions that have been posed to investigators, including a possible angle that may have involved drugs. Here’s how ACP Romero responded to those queries.
Reporter
“Is there any drug element in the investigation?”
ACP Hilberto Romero, Regional Commander, Eastern Division
“We collected several items from the house and those will be taken to the forensic laboratory for testing. That is all I can say about what was found at that scene.”
Reporter
“Do they include scales and that sort of thing?”
Hilberto Romero
“No, they do not.”
Reporter
“And is it true that he was sitting and essence didn‘t put up any kind of fight to be detained?”
Hilberto Romero
“When the police got there, he was found sitting and he was detained.”
Reporter
“And pointed police to the weapon.”
Hilberto Romero
“The weapon was found inside the house by the police.”
Reporter
“Is there any indication that the scene may have been staged and can you also speak about the time that the incident may have occurred because obviously, when police arrived at that scene it was a certain time and people were saying it may have happened way before?”
Hilberto Romero
“That is part of the investigation and we are awaiting the official results to determine those.”
