Tunapuna teen’s body found below galvanise sheets

Relatives of murdered 17-year-old Christopher Cummings cannot think of any reason why anyone would want him dead.

His body was found under a pile of galvanise sheets in a park off Achong Trace, Tunapuna, on Tuesday morning. He was reported missing since Friday last week.

Newsday visited his family’s home at Balthazar Street, Tunapuna, close to where his body was found, and spoke with his older sister Crystal Alleyne.

"We don't deserve this and Christopher didn't deserve this,” she said.

"All those sleepless nights we spent looking for Christopher and he was right under our noses all along.

"He wasn't involved in any drugs and he was never in the police station. He didn't get into any trouble with anyone.

"People out here are just monsters."

Alleyne said Cummings was a diabetic.

His older brother Kadeem Sawyer was murdered near the Tunapuna market in 2014.
