Two years later, detectives from the Major Crime Investigations Team are still seeking the public's assistance in identifying those responsible for the attempted murder of Ramona Moses of Huntum’s Ghut and the murders of her daughter Trinity and Mr Penn of Parham Town, East End.
"At around 09:45pm on Wednesday November 22, 2017 the three victims were travelling in a white Suzuki XL7 along the Sir Francis Drakes highway at West End when they came under gun fire from the unknown assailants. Trinity Moses and Franklyn Penn died on route to hospital whilst Ramona Moses was fortunate to survive. Today marks the two year anniversary of the incident," Police stated in a press release today, November 22, 2019.
According to the press release, detectives believe that members of the community have crucial information that could assist in identifying those responsible and to bring some closure to the grieving families.

Families plead for justice
Meanwhile, the family of the late Franklin E. Penn Jr stated: “As a family, we have lost so much. In 2017 alone, we lost our father and two brothers. Although we continue to get through each day, we still cannot come to terms with these losses, two of which were very tragic. Tomorrow will be the second anniversary of our beloved Franklin’s death. We still have no answers as to why he was taken from us so tragically; a young man who was quiet and kind-hearted, never interfering with anyone. He did not deserve to have his life cut short this way. Although we know that nothing we can do will ever bring him back, we need questions answered and for those who took his life to be brought to justice. Not a single day goes but without us thinking of him and sometimes, the tears still fall. We plead with anyone who may have any knowledge surrounding the death of our brother to please come forward.”
The family of Trinity A. Moses stated: “As the family of Trinity Moses, we would like to thank everyone who helped and showed support to us in our time of grief. We are now pleading to the public to help us by coming forward with any information that can assist, as Trinity was a very loving child and was someone’s daughter/niece/grandchild which has left a void in our lives that cannot be filled.”
