A man is dead following a robbery at his home in Diego Martin early this morning (Thursday 28th March, 2024). The deceased has been identified as 60-year-old shopkeeper Steve Harding, of Salandy Street, Diego Martin.
According to reports, Steve, who lived alone, was found around 3:30 AM at his home by his brother-in-law, who lives upstairs.
The visibly shaken sister of the murdered man, Bridget Harding, spoke to Newsday at his shop and described him as quiet and peaceful. She said her son, who sleeps in a room next to Steve's apartment, woke up around 3:00 AM to muffled sounds. He left his room to investigate and a gunman pointed a gun at him and ordered him back to his room, where he was tied up with duct tape. Her son waited until he heard the four (4) gunmen leave before shouting for help. Bridget’s husband, Junior McCloud, heard the screams and went to check on him. He saw his son tied up and after freeing him, both men went to check on Steve. They saw his front door open and called out to him, but he did not answer. The men went into Steve's apartment, where they found him lying with his hands tied behind his back and his head covered with duct tape. Police believe Steve may have suffocated during the robbery, as both his mouth and nose were covered. His sister called the crime situation “ridiculous” and did not believe the Police would solve her brother's murder. “They took an innocent man's life. He would have celebrated his 61st birthday in June,” she lamented. Bridget said she is shaken up and fearful for her own life. Investigations are continuing. More on this as it becomes available.
