As SEARCHLIGHT was going to press yesterday, residents of the area said that they suspect that the men were killed after 10 p.m. on Tuesday night, when several gunshots were heard coming from the area where the bodies were found.

The names of the dead men have been given as Brian Baptiste 50 of Chateaubelair and Glenroy ‘Casual’ Delpesche, 25 of Petit Bordel.

The first body was said to have been discovered by a fisherman from Rose Bank on Wednesday, while the other one was discovered Thursday by a search party looking for two men who had gone missing. A third man, a resident of Petit Bordel, is still unaccounted for.
