A VISIBLY-shaken Imran Mohammed-Khan was taken back to his Mt Lambert home just after six last evening, and although his family refused to speak to the media, the young man’s neighbours expressed joy over the death of three of the men who grabbed him hours earlier.

This, however, is not the first time the family had gone through a trauma like this.

Back in September 2002, Khan’s brother, Khalil Khan, was kidnapped just seconds after he dropped off his then girlfriend at her home in Monte Grande, Tunapuna. Days later, three men were arrested for that kidnapping.

Moments after he was reunited with his family yesterday, Mohammed-Khan remained shuttered in his family’s Fourth Street home. Three unmarked police cars stopped near the home last night and slim-built Khan was escorted out the car and to his house. A female relative was with him at the time.

Fourth Street, Mt Lambert, is a quiet residential area but last night, the news of the kidnapping and what happened afterwards was still fresh in their minds as some ventured outside to lime.

The Express spoke with some of the family’s neighbours about the incident.

One man said they were a pleasant family but kept to themselves most of the time.

Other neighbours confirmed this but said the younger members of the family usually mingled with residents in the community.

’I wasn’t home when this thing happened,’ said one of the Khan’s middle-aged neighbours.

’But yuh could quote meh on this, I real glad them ******* dead...quote that!’

The man went on to say his own son operated a small business of his own, and he would not like the same thing to happen to him.

Other neighbours shared a similar opinion on the issue.

’Watch me,’ said another man, ’we does look out for each other in this area, and I glad that the police do what they do.’
