Trinidadian man arrested 3 years after murdering Guyanese

A Trinidadian national of Chaguanas was arrested in connection with the murder of Guyanese national Meshach Yoel Mentore.
According to a Loop TT News report, Mentore, 29, was killed on February 18, 2017 in Chaguanas.

The suspect was held over the past weekend, and investigators were expected to approach the Director of Public Prosecutions, Roger Gaspard, SC, for instructions on how to proceed against the suspect.
Mentore, also called “Joel”, formerly of Lot 216 Stephen Street, B Field, Sophia, Greater Georgetown, and of Henderson Street, Chaguanas, Trinidad, was reportedly killed during a dispute with his lover.
One day after the incident, Police stated that at approximately 11:15h on the day in question, his roommate found him in the living room of their apartment, unresponsive and bleeding from multiple stab wounds to his neck and chest.
The roommate said he last saw Mentore alive around 04:00h on the said day when he was going to the bathroom. Mentore, a restaurant host, was pronounced dead at the crime scene.
Valarie Mentore, mother of the dead man, had told Guyana Times that she received the news about her son’s death a few hours after the discovery of his body. “All the person told me was that Joel was stabbed to death … they did not say what might have triggered the murder, but the Police have arrested the roommate,” the mother stated.
The woman further stated that her son left Guyana several years ago, but he would often visit. “I don’t know much about his lifestyle in Trinidad, but all he told me was that he has a roommate … I don’t know if he was seeing anyone or anything,” she added.
The woman stated that the news of his death was definitely a shock and it was one she would have to live with for the rest of her life.
