In an unrelated matter, two Mayaro men, both 22, will appear before a Mayaro magistrate today charged with murdering Tobago resident Adam Jotis last month.
The men are alleged to have killed Jotis on a date unknown. His battered body was found on October 14 at Beaumont Beach, Mayaro. The body was found wrapped in a piece of cloth floating in the Atlantic Ocean.
Jotis, 25, who worked at Persad’s Supermarket at Guayaguayare Road, Mayaro, was spotted by villagers around 7.30 am floating in the choppy waters off Mayaro beach.
A villager said they became concerned after they saw a piece of blue plastic bobbing in the water but upon closer inspection saw Jotis’ body attached to it. His autopsy revealed he was beaten to death.
