A Family Killing In Cotton Tree
posted (July 2, 2010)
The body of a man was found 10:30 last night near a creek off the More Tomorrow Road in Cotton Tree Village. 28 year old Eleanar Enoth Barrientos was found lying face up on the ground with what appeared to be chop wounds to the back of his neck. It is believed that yesterday's murder might have been caused by a family feud since according to police, earlier yesterday Barrientos was involved in an argument with his uncle Hubert Barrientos who had threatened to chop him.

So far police have detained 29 year old Elmar Barrientos and 52 year Gilberto Barrientos and are currently looking for Hubert Barrientos. 28 year old Eleanar Enoth Barrientos was last seen alive by his sister around 5:30 yesterday evening and told her he was going to the creek near the More Tomorrow Road to take a bath. Both police and the family refused our requests for interviews today.
