In less than a week, Barbados recorded two murders in one of the bloodiest months for the year so far.

The latest killing was 26-year-old Kadeem Renaldo Bispham, of Roach Village, St George, who was shot yesterday around 2:45 a.m. in 2nd Avenue, Gills Gap, Eagle Hall, St Michael.

On Sunday, Nicholas Mayers, of Rowans, St George, was gunned down as he set up his coconut stall in his neighbourhood.

Two days later, on July 18, Ronald Skeete, 56, of Orange Hill, St James was stabbed to death at his home. (CA)
