After a series of shootings and murders last week, the violence continued over the weekend as three more murders were recorded between Saturday and Sunday.

In the most recent incident the body of a 29-year-old Belmont man was found wrapped in garbage bags in St Anns on Sunday morning.

Police said they received a report of passer-by seeing a body of a man on the bed of the St Anns River, beneath a bridge on Fondes Amandes Road, at around 11.30 am.

Police went to the scene and found the body of Yannick Shaquille Warren.

A request for assistance from the fire service was made to remove Warren's body from the riverbed but this was later cancelled as police were able to remove it themselves with the help of funeral home workers.

Newsday visited the area on Sunday and saw where the body was found which was littered with dried leaves, branches and debris.

Police said they suspect Warren was killed in another area and dumped beneath the bridge.

One resident who asked not to be named said he also suspected Warren was dumped in the area given the forested relatively remote area on that particular part of the road where he was found.

In an unrelated incident on Saturday morning, a 33-year-old Barataria man was shot dead while in the bedroom of his Granado Street, Sawmill Avenue, house.

Police said Kareem Bailey aka "Braveboy" was in bed at around 9.30 am when he was shot and killed.

Morvant police went to the area with a district medical officer who declared him dead.

Last Monday a 12-year-old boy was shot and wounded on the same street.

Hours earlier on Saturday morning a farmer was shot dead near his home in Brasso Seco.

Police said Shawn Wong aka "Shaka Wong" was walking on the Paria Bay Road, Brasso Seco, Paria, at around 6.45 am when he was approached by a man who shot him several times in the head before running away.

Blanchisseuse police and officers of the coastal patrol were in the area at the time and went to the scene where they found Wong's body.
