Port-of-Spain, Trinidad -
Trinidad and Tobago's top police commander says a special team of officers are investigating the killing of an elderly German couple who were found hacked to death on a beach near their vacation home.
Acting Police Commissioner Stephen Williams told reporters on Monday that the team is made up of investigators from several units who will be provided “whatever resources are needed” to solve the murders on Tobago.
Police have identified the German couple as Hubertus and Birgid Keil, who both were in their 70s.
Their bodies were found on Saturday with multiple chop wounds on a beach near their villa. They had been coming to Tobago for 15 years.
Police have given no motive for the slayings.
A local group is offering $16 000 for information leading to a conviction. - Sapa-AP
