Pictured Above: Roger Mootoo. Roger Mootoo, also known as Roger Ravello, was shot and killed by gunmen on his way to his apartment at St. Margaret’s Village, Claxton Bay, on Sunday morning (26th February 2023). Mootoo was one of nine (9) men accused of kidnapping and murdering Petit Bourg businesswoman Samdaye Rampersad in November 2015. Rampersad was said to have been buried alive, according to testimony from Forensic Pathologist Hughvon des Vignes during the trial. Her body was found forty-one (41) days after her kidnapping, in a shallow grave in a cashew field in Carolina Village, Claxton Bay.
According to reports, Mootoo was returning to his home at building one at Cara Courts Apartments, when he was killed by gunmen who ambushed him around 4:30 AM on Sunday. Due to the name of the apartment building, a Hotel Manager from the nearby Cara Suites Hotel and Conference Centre, is distancing their Hotel from the shooting at Cara Courts. “We are Cara Hotels or Cara Suites. We are not an apartment building. We are not affiliated with Cara Courts Apartments in any way. There was a killing but it does not involve the Hotel in any way. We are located on the same compound, however, they are two separate buildings. As you come up the hill, Cara Hotel is straight up. If you make an extreme right, you will get to Cara Courts. We want to distance our Hotel from that shooting incident. It occurred nowhere close to our compound.” Mootoo, Phillip ‘The Boss’ Boodram, Ricky Singh, Kervin Williams and Aaron ‘Arc Eye’ Grappie were convicted for manslaughter and sentenced to twenty-eight (28) years in prison. However, they were released after serving seventeen (17) years due to errors made by the High Court Judge who oversaw the defendants’ second retrial in 2016. Three (3) months after their early release from prison, in September 2022, Boodram was killed by Police, during a shootout at Esperanza, Couva. Police were responding to a report of robbery at the time, and giving chase to suspects in a vehicle, when there was an exchange of gunfire. All three (3) suspects were killed. The other men were identified as Malick Paul of Railway Road and Gerard Thorington of Goodwill Road, Enterprise. Homicide Bureau of Investigations (HBI) Region III is continuing investigations into the murder of Mootoo. [Source: Newsday] We are a small operation.
