Bloodbath in Ste Madeleine: Father, son and family friend gunned down in deadly home invasion
Three men were shot and killed during a brutal early-morning attack at a home in Ste Madeleine, leaving a family shattered and investigators searching for the gunmen responsible.
The deadly incident occurred around 1:23 a.m. on Monday, June 1, at a residence along Sixth Street, Ste Madeleine.
Dead are 43-year-old Martin Harripersad, his son Clairey Kingfoo, believed to be in his mid-20s, and a family friend known only as "Jo."
According to police reports, officers responded to a wireless transmission of a shooting in progress and arrived at the scene minutes later.
Investigators were met by an 18-year-old who told officers he had left the house to walk two dogs. While returning home from a nearby track behind the residence, he heard approximately 15 gunshots.
When he entered the property, he discovered his cousin, Clairey Kingfoo, lying motionless in a pool of blood near the front gate.
The teenager then made further checks inside the house and found his father, Martin Harripersad, and family friend "Jo" suffering from apparent gunshot wounds in a bedroom. Both men appeared to be dead.
Police officers secured the scene and found Kingfoo's body at the entrance of the home. Harripersad was discovered lying on a bed inside a bedroom, while "Jo" was found slumped in a corner of the room.
District Medical Officer later visited the scene, pronounced the men dead and ordered the removal of their bodies.
Crime Scene Investigators processed the area for evidence as homicide detectives launched a probe into the triple killing.
Police are continuing investigations into the circumstances surrounding the murders and have not yet established a motive for the attack.
