One man is dead and three others wounded after two shootings in the central division on Saturday.

At around 5.35 pm, Clarence Sooknanan, 31, of Temple Street, went with two relatives to buy goats at Ramdhanie Street, Freeport, when he was shot.

Well into the 60's for the corresponding period last year,although one murder is one too many and forty sumn is waay too high at this stage,20 or so less is priceless and shows a very positive trend..

The progress is noted and should redound well to the end of year tally...

Burkie escapes Sea Lots drive-by attack
1 slain, five wounded


A dri­ve-by shoot­ing in Sea Lots has left one man dead and five oth­ers wound­ed.

Po­lice said Rawl Williams, 40, was re­port­ed­ly killed when oc­cu­pants of a car who were tar­get­ing com­mu­ni­ty leader Cedric ‘Burkie’ Burke opened fire on a group of peo­ple at Pi­o­neer Dri­ve short­ly af­ter 8 pm.

Trey Beard, 23, Rahim Bruce, 23; Patrick Lau­ric, Trevor Isaac and Shenelle John­son, 24, were iden­ti­fied as the oth­er per­sons wound­ed in the at­tack.

Ini­tial re­ports of the in­ci­dent on so­cial me­dia had sug­gest­ed that Burke had been killed in the at­tack, be­fore these re­ports changed to sug­gest he had been shot. How­ev­er, po­lice lat­er con­firmed that this was false.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors in fact said that Burke re­port­ed­ly sur­vived the at­tack by ly­ing flat and prac­ti­cal­ly play­ing dead un­til the at­tack­ers left the scene.

A voice mes­sage cir­cu­lat­ing on What­sApp claims that men loy­al to Burke were able to "take him away" af­ter the at­tack but did not say in what con­di­tion.

Tonight's shoot­ing takes the mur­der count to 49.

Po­lice are still in Sea Lots in­ves­ti­gat­ing the in­ci­dent.

$1m reward for Carolyn who was kidnapped

Trinidad and Tobago has been captivated time and again by reports of missing women. And while many of them are found, alive or dead, many others remain missing to this day.

This is the case of Carolyn Katwaroo, a 43-year-old San Fernando businesswoman, who went missing almost four years ago and to this day, police have not located her or her body.

No ransom demand was made and Katwaroo’s relatives have described her disappearance as a mystery.

“You always question whether she is dead or alive. There is something inside of you that never wants to stop searching. In my heart, I cannot stop looking for her,” a close relative said.

Police say they have exhausted their leads but are continuing to follow new information as it is reported. The family has also contacted Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith on the case.

Nineteen Spanish speaking girls, between the ages 15 and 17, were rescued this morning from a businessplace along the Ariapita Avenue in Woodbrook.

Six people, of Asian ethnicity, were arrested for harbouring the girls.

The teenagers were rescued during a police operation which took place at about 2a.m. today, led by Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith.

The operation involved officers of the Western Division, the Special Operations Response Team, the Financial Intelligence Branch, and the Counter Trafficking Unit.

The teenagers have been taken for medical examination, and are being housed in a police facility in the Western Division.

Uk couple robbed at gun point

To­ba­go po­lice are in­ves­ti­gat­ing the rob­bery of a British cou­ple in Ply­mouth on Wednes­day. It is the sec­ond such in­ci­dent to oc­cur on the is­land in just four days.

Mark Peth­er­ick 66 and his wife Rose­mary, 67, re­tirees, of Ducote Wells, Unit­ed King­dom. were at Arnos Vale beach, at around 4.30 pm when they were ap­proached by a man bran­dish­ing what ap­peared to be a firearm, wrapped in a ban­dana.

He grabbed Rose­mary by the neck and de­mand­ed their cell phones. The cou­ple hand­ed $101, US$60, a Canon cam­era and £106 ster­ling pounds to the as­sailant who es­caped on foot.

The cou­ple were guests at the Blue Wa­ters Inn Ho­tel in Spey­side but were ex­plor­ing the west­ern part of the is­land when they were at­tacked.

58 murders in 38 days. That projects to 572 for 2019 overtaking the 2009 record of 550. What is really going on? Seems like murder is becoming a new sport or pastime in T&T.

Edwards

They keep fooling the people with their counting style. They only count those who die on the spot but do not count those who die at hospital. The number murdered is a lot higher than the figure given.

Claude

60 murders in less than 40 days ... the PNM CRIME PLAN is running true to form!!! Another one down in Laventille

Judge releases prisoner for murder of boy, 13

KALE Jacob was 15 when he was arrested and charged with the murder of a 13-year-old schoolboy in 2009.

Last year, Jacob pleaded guilty to stabbing Maliq Hillaire at Third Avenue, Barataria, on November 20, 2009.

He was freed by a High Court judge a short while ago.

Justice Hayden St Clair-Douglas imposed a 15-year sentence but deducted one-third for Jacob's guilty plea, and another year for his remorse, acknowledgment of his crime and the self-improvement courses he took while at the Youth Training Facility over the last decade and the nine years and three months he spent awaiting trial.

After the deductions, St Clair-Douglas told Jacob, “You ought to be released with immediate effect.”

Hillaire was a form one student of Barataria Secondary School and Jacob attended Malick Senior Comprehensive.

Man beaten to death after $25,000 casino winnings
Family wants justice


A list­ed John Doe at the Port-of-Spain Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal turned out to be a miss­ing man from Gol­con­da. How­ev­er, po­lice sus­pect that Kesther Ra­goo­bar, 29, was bad­ly beat­en, thrown out of a ve­hi­cle and left for dead at the side of the Churchill Roo­sevelt High­way in Beetham hours af­ter win­ning $25,000 at a casi­no.

Ra­goo­bar was last seen on Sat­ur­day by his moth­er Es­ther, 57, when he left his Gooray Trace, Gol­con­da home with friends to lime some­where in north Trinidad.

When Ra­goo­bar failed to re­turn home, his fam­i­ly grew wor­ried and lodged a miss­ing per­son’s re­port with the po­lice. Un­known to them at the time, Ra­goo­bar had al­ready been found by passers-by on Sun­day morn­ing and tak­en to the hos­pi­tal in a crit­i­cal con­di­tion. Med­ical of­fi­cials found no iden­ti­fi­ca­tion on him be­fore they con­duct­ed an emer­gency op­er­a­tion and lat­er list­ed him as a John Doe.

The hos­pi­tal sub­se­quent­ly sent out a re­lease with his de­scrip­tion ask­ing for help in iden­ti­fy­ing him. But it was not un­til days af­ter that his moth­er was told of a de­scrip­tion sent out by the hos­pi­tal and re­alised it fit his. Es­ther told Guardian Me­dia that she and oth­er rel­a­tives went to the hos­pi­tal hop­ing to find her son on­ly to be told he had suc­cumbed to his in­juries. The fam­i­ly viewed Ra­goo­bar’s body in the hos­pi­tal’s mor­tu­ary and pos­i­tive­ly iden­ti­fied him.

“I gone to iden­ti­fy the body and when I gone that was my son. I say wait, that’s not my son be­cause that’s not how he was; he foot cut out, he two hand break, they say he had a hole in the back of he head and big, he swell big,” a griev­ing Es­ther said.

An au­top­sy done the Foren­sic Sci­ences Cen­tre in St James re­vealed Ra­goo­bar died from mul­ti­ple blunt trau­mat­ic in­juries.

She came for Carnival from Japan

Asami’s case a priority for Cold Case Unit

Three years af­ter the mur­der of Japan­ese pan play­er Asa­mi Na­gakiya, the T&T Po­lice Ser­vice’s Cold Case Unit has found new in­for­ma­tion which can help solve the case.

Head of the Unit ACP An­tho­ny James con­firmed the po­lice had got­ten in­for­ma­tion which “points in a cer­tain di­rec­tion” ahead of to­day’s third an­niver­sary of the dis­cov­ery of Na­gakiya’s body.

“There may be some light at the end of this tun­nel,” James added.

Na­gakiya, 31, of Sap­poro-shi, Hokkai­do, had been com­ing to T&T since 2009 to play with steel­bands.

In 2016, she had al­so played mas with Lega­cy’s Car­ni­val band. Her body was found by a CEPEP work­er on Ash Wednes­day—Feb­ru­ary 9—at the base of a tree in the Queen’s Park Sa­van­nah. She was still clad in her Leg­end’s cos­tume

An au­top­sy re­vealed she had been stran­gled. Po­lice es­ti­mat­ed she had died some­time be­tween Car­ni­val Tues­day night and Ash Wednes­day. Na­gakiya was last seen alive on Car­ni­val Tues­day around 6.15 pm walk­ing with a man near Pic­ton Court, New­town.

TTPS’ Homi­cide di­vi­sion which probed the mat­ter, in­ter­viewed var­i­ous peo­ple in T&T as well as in Japan and had sought CCTV footage from ar­eas where Na­gakiya’s body was found.

Yes­ter­day, homi­cide of­fi­cials told Guardian Me­dia, avail­able CCTV footage did not cap­ture any­thing. A 31-year-old man who was in­ter­viewed by po­lice in con­nec­tion with the crime was killed in a rob­bery at­tempt nine months af­ter Na­gakiya died.

The case was tak­en up by the Cold Case Unit in 2017 when that di­vi­sion formed.

Electrician killed by cops during arrest attempt
They made a mistake­—wife


Li­censed elec­tri­cian and YTEPP lec­tur­er Al­lis­ter Pierre was yes­ter­day fa­tal­ly shot in the neck dur­ing a po­lice-in­volved shoot­ing in which two of­fi­cers were al­so in­jured, with one suf­fer­ing a bro­ken arm. The tragedy hap­pened af­ter the of­fi­cers went to Pierre’s Brazil Vil­lage, San Raphael home to ar­rest him on an out­stand­ing do­mes­tic abuse war­rant.

Pierre was the third po­lice shoot­ing vic­tim in four days and the sixth for the year so far.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, at about 2.50 am yes­ter­day North­ern Di­vi­sion of­fi­cers shot Pierre when he re­port­ed­ly at­tacked two of them as they re­spond­ed to a re­port of do­mes­tic vi­o­lence at a house at Brazilome Branch Trace. He was lat­er tak­en to the Ari­ma Dis­trict Hos­pi­tal where he died while un­der­go­ing treat­ment. The po­lice re­port said one of the of­fi­cers sus­tained a bro­ken arm while his col­league sus­tained oth­er in­juries.

Po­lice said they were ex­e­cut­ing a war­rant for his Pierre’s ar­rest when they were at­tacked. They had a war­rant out for Pierre for ma­li­cious wound­ing and added that he was known to them hav­ing had a string of of­fences to his name, in­clud­ing lar­ce­ny, rob­bery, sex­u­al of­fences and drug pos­ses­sion.

How­ev­er, speak­ing with the Guardian Me­dia yes­ter­day, Pierre’s wife Akeisha said she be­lieves her hus­band was mis­tak­en­ly tar­get­ed by the po­lice. She said her hus­band was not abu­sive to her and was not in­volved in all the of­fences not­ed by the po­lice.

She said yes­ter­day morn­ing the of­fi­cers came twice to her home and said it was on the sec­ond vis­it that things es­ca­lat­ed and her hus­band was at­tacked by the of­fi­cers while in her pres­ence in their bed­room. She said her hus­band was shot once in the neck and be­lieves the bul­let ric­o­cheted to the jaw.

“Al­lis­ter kept telling the po­lice that he did noth­ing wrong and asked them and begged them to tell him why they want­ed to ar­rest him. He even told the of­fi­cers ‘well, I didn’t hit my wife so tell me why al­lyuh do­ing this to me,” Akeisha said.

Gunmen storm Highlanders panyard, rob player
Band gets time to regroup for prelims

Gun­men stormed the pa­n­yard where the High­landers Steel Or­ches­tra was prac­tis­ing on Mon­day night, steal­ing a phone and caus­ing eight play­ers to im­me­di­ate­ly quit and leave the band in dis­ar­ray be­fore yes­ter­day’s cru­cial Panora­ma pre­lim­i­nar­ies.

As a re­sult of the in­ci­dent, the band’s man­ag­er Robert Her­nan­dez wrote to Pan Trin­ba­go ask­ing them to post­pone the day the band was to be judged - which was orig­i­nal­ly yes­ter­day.

On Mon­day around 8 pm, the High­landers play­ers had gath­ered for prac­tice when two men en­tered the pa­n­yard with guns drawn.

The band was prac­tis­ing at the Uni Stars pa­n­yard on Bertie Mar­shall Boule­vard, pre­vi­ous­ly known as Old St Joseph Road in Laven­tille, as ren­o­va­tions on the High­landers’ pa­n­yard on the East­ern Main Road are on­go­ing.

The gun­men ap­proached a group of about a dozen play­ers who were lim­ing near a pan rack and an­nounced a hold-up. They stole the Sam­sung cell­phone of a fe­male play­er be­fore an alarm was raised. Some men in the pa­n­yard re­spond­ed and the gun­men ran off.

The in­ci­dent trau­ma­tised the play­ers, many of whom are teenagers, forc­ing band mem­ber to can­cel prac­tice for the night.

As a result, the murder toll stood at 66 up to last night.

This compares to 75 at the same time last year.

What is the comparison with this time last year?

I see all those Downtown incidents. I used to walk all over that area while working for a brief 3 months in Trinidad 2003. Used to go and buy cloth.

Not by any means acceptable,but it was 85 at this time last year..why highlight each and every murder when as bad as it is it's much less than last year? Gotta make it clear because there are some very fickle minds here ready to go off on my comments totally out of perspective,and the same goes for below,it's a direct response to your queries and comments. By someone on the ground who does his part..

'Downtown'in this case is East POS,on the fringes of the hotspots and hotspots themselves with many gang related murders,there was a plan by the Manning admin to gentrify the entire area but it got derailed by the result of the 2010 election,it's a few streets and the further East you go it get's worse,Charlotte and George to a lesser extent because it's a longer run back into their rat holes ,then Nelson and Duncan,everyone know about those streets,all stuck in time and you can smell it,it's arguably the worst part of T&T,Nelson and Duncan streets with Sealots to the South,Laventille hills to the North and Beetham and Laventille to the East and I mean walking distance 5-10 mins,much less running...I can show you a pic comparison of those areas and downtown P.O.S so you can have some perspective,every city has it's backwater and Nelson is as bad as it get's in T&T..

Make no mistake we're fighting this tooth and nail,too many illegal guns on the streets,for the amount if they were really out of control you would be hearing mass shootings and many more innocent casualties like in other places in all the nice places,and we would have a murder rate approaching the 50's/100,000,for all the highlighted bloodshed our murder rate has not exceeded the mid 30's/100,000 and that's because there has been a conscious fight taking place,we have all the ingredients to have a runaway murder rate like many of our neighbors,we are the #1 trans-shipment point,a huge amount of drugs guns and undocumented foreigners pass through here,I'm not condoning any of this but this is mostly catch me if you can tit for tat between idiots,too much idiots is the bigger problem..no one is going to intentionally shoot you me or that jones character anywhere in T&T,even in a hotspot..

This is T&T at it's worse and it won't get any worse..

We need legal reform (in process)

We need judicial reform (in discussions)

We need social outreach(in process)

We need tighter borders (in process)

We need prison reform,prisons must become institutions if forced education reform and the stage for calculated and even monitored reintegration (in discussions)

We need T-I-M-E,not personal agenda cheap shots and pessimism,our spirit and commitment would never be broken and would usher us out of these dark times.

I hope this thread is maintained till the end of the year,because all it will prove is that less people got killed this year than the last..

Thanks..

Guard robbed in fake taxi by fake passengers


A DIEGO Martin security guard was robbed of $7,000 by occupants of a ‘fake taxi’ in Manzanilla on Sunday.

The 30 year old victim was beaten and robbed of the cash by ‘passengers’, then ordered out of the vehicle by the driver.

The victim reported to police that around 6.30 p.m. the victim, of Morne Coco Road, boarded a black Nissan Tiida in Sangre Grande to be taken to Mayaro.

He sat in the backseat between two men.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the Manzanilla Beach Resort, the passengers on either side beat the victim, and demanded the cash.

The thieves told the driver to stop the vehicle, and when he did they ran off and escaped.

PoS gang war spirals out of control again
Cops fear for innocent

The in­crease of mur­ders and gun vi­o­lence in the Sea Lots, East Port-of-Spain and Care­nage is now be­lieved to be di­rect­ly linked to the on­go­ing gang ri­val­ry be­tween two main gangs—the Ras­ta City and the Mus­lims.

How­ev­er, po­lice in the Port-of-Spain and West­ern Di­vi­sions fear that the lev­el of the vi­o­lence is in­creas­ing to lev­els where women and the in­no­cent are be­ing sense­less­ly killed in at­tacks to send “strong mes­sages” to those on ei­ther side of the turf war.

In the lat­est killing in Sea Lots, se­cu­ri­ty guard Nigel Fran­cis­co, 52, was killed at his Pi­o­neer Dri­ve home yes­ter­day, hours af­ter six mem­bers of his fam­i­ly were forced to pack up their be­long­ings and leave the area be­cause of threats made against their lives.

Ac­cord­ing to pre­lim­i­nary in­ves­ti­ga­tions, Fran­cis­co’s mur­der was di­rect­ly linked to the dead­ly dri­ve-by shoot­ing on Feb­ru­ary 3 at Pi­o­neer Dri­ve, Sea Lots. It is be­lieved he was killed be­cause gang mem­bers sus­pect­ed he was an in­former.

A res­i­dent from the area was ar­rest­ed by po­lice of­fi­cers who re­spond­ed to the crime scene, but there was no con­fir­ma­tion up to press time on whether the man was de­tained in con­nec­tion with Fran­cis­co’s mur­der or oth­er un­re­lat­ed in­quiries.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, at about 10.30 am res­i­dents heard sev­er­al gun­shots com­ing from Fran­cis­co’s house. The po­lice were called in and of­fi­cers lat­er found Fran­cis­co on his liv­ing room floor. He is be­lieved to have been shot sev­er­al times about the body by a high-pow­ered weapon.

Guardian Me­dia was again told yes­ter­day by Sea Lots res­i­dents that they are un­der at­tack and there seems to be no pro­tec­tion for their lives. One res­i­dent, who wished not to be iden­ti­fied said: “This is a sad re­al­i­ty that we have to live with. I born and grow right here and this shoot­ing and mur­ders have be­come a nor­mal thing that we have grown ac­cus­tomed to.”

Please, the expert bravos is clueless in his diatribe.

He claimed the anti-gang law will stop crime. Now this crap. We had these same laws in the 1990's look at the statics then.

In simple terms when we in T&T have governments that cannot provide a secure environment for its citizens its a failure, that leads to a failed state.


Two Oil booms under the PNM tenure all squandered and notice the rise in crime under their governance. Manning spent 2 Billion for useless Summits. Some areas Citizens don't have water electricity and live in shacks.
Can one envision such an environment to grow up in, and such kids are in generations of poverty.

These governments that held power from 2000 to now are clueless since the wealth was distributed to the top 15 %
of the population.

In areas that are dominated by Africans, they are the bottom of the ladder in the economy and have voted PNM for life over 50 years. Such governments have ignored these poor citizens.

To survive they kill each other; if such continues we will have a couple of generations of young African males that will be missing in the next census.

The gangs and drug trade flourishes in such areas.
This problem has been flourishing over the last two decades
as the poor get poorer with no horizon in sight.

The Unemployment rates in such areas are horrendous. They apply for a job, they must have a copy of their status from the police, where they live, see the discrimination.
They are vilified by the above even though innocent.

No amount of Laws or Gary will help unless the wealth is distributed, so all citizens will benefit.
My family have had business in T&T for over 100 years,
I have seen the changes in citizens.

It is a sad situation.

Mini-Uzi seized, 3 held after police chase

Three men were ar­rest­ed and a mi­ni-Uzi sub­ma­chine gun seized by of­fi­cers of the North­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force, Cen­tral, fol­low­ing a high-speed chase and po­lice-in­volved shoot­ing in­ci­dent in the Arou­ca dis­trict.

The in­ci­dent oc­curred on Tues­day.

Po­lice say of­fi­cers were on mo­bile pa­trol around 1:30 pm on Tues­day 12th Feb­ru­ary, 2019, when they re­ceived in­for­ma­tion of men armed with guns in the Arou­ca dis­trict.

The of­fi­cers pro­ceed­ed to the lo­ca­tion and ob­served a blue Nis­san Almera mo­tor ve­hi­cle with four male oc­cu­pants, pro­ceed­ing along Gold­en Grove Road, Arou­ca.

When the of­fi­cers at­tempt­ed to in­ter­cept the ve­hi­cle, it sped off and a chase en­sued which end­ed at the cor­ner of the East­ern Main Road and Wa­ter­loo Road.

As the Almera came to a stop, a man ex­it­ed the ve­hi­cle and point­ed a firearm at the of­fi­cers and fired sev­er­al shots at them.

The of­fi­cers sub­se­quent­ly re­turned fire in the di­rec­tion of the gun­man who ran off and es­caped.

The oth­er three men in the ve­hi­cle; a 24-year-old and a 21-year-old both of Ari­ma and a 21-year-old of Pi­ar­co were ar­rest­ed and a search of the ve­hi­cle con­duct­ed.

Wife found hanging, with bag over head

An autopsy is expected to be performed today to confirm what caused the death of 54-year-old Dularie Ramnarine.

Ramnarine, who lived at a home along the Eastern Main Road, Valencia, died yesterday at the Sangre Grande District Hospital.

Foul play is suspected.

The Express was told that at about 9a.m. on Thursday, Ramnarine’s common-law husband, Esmond Joseph, was in Arima, when he got a phone call from his wife.

He told police that she sounded panicked and he heard strange noises over the phone.

The call then ended.

Joseph said he tried to call his wife back several times but was unsuccessful.

As a result, he made his way home.

He told police that upon entering, he found his wife hanging from a cord, with a bag over her head.

There also appeared to be blood on her chest.

Of course, dem bwoys seh, it all has to start at the top! I'm just fligging tired of crime/criminality in the region.

Bodies found in Petit Valley, Cedros


THE BODIES of two people, believed to be Venezuelan, were found within hours of each other in Petit Valley and Cedros.

Police are now calling for the public's help in identifying them.

The first body was found on Morne Coco Road early this morning. Police told Newsday at about 6 am, a pedestrian was walking along the road, near the spring, when he found the body of a man.

He alerted the police

The man was wearin dark coloured three-quarter jeans, and a black and purple hoodie. His hands were bound and he seemed to have suffered a gunshot wound to the right side of his chest.

A little more than two hours later, at about 8.30 am the body of a woman was found on Fullarton Beach, Cedros.

When Newsday reporters contacted police sources, they said police were still at the scene. At the time they were still trying to determine the identity and age of the woman, who was of a light brown complexion.

Police sources told Newsday no reports of a missing woman had been made in recent times.

More on this as it becomes available.

Cops finally nab sex ring mastermind

A Chi­nese na­tion­al de­scribed by po­lice as one of the mas­ter­minds be­hind a ma­jor sex and drug ring op­er­at­ing in West­ern Trinidad that was smashed more than two weeks ago was cap­tured on Tues­day.

In­tel­li­gence sources told Guardian Me­dia the man had been on the run ever since po­lice raid­ed a West­moor­ings home at West­ern Cir­cle on Feb­ru­ary 6, where sev­er­al young girls be­tween the ages of 15 and 19 years were res­cued.

Dur­ing that op­er­a­tion, head­ed by the Spe­cial Op­er­a­tions Re­sponse Team (SORT), Counter Traf­fick­ing Unit (CTU), Fi­nan­cial In­tel­li­gence Branch (FIB) and Child Pro­tec­tion Unit (CPU), at least 18 sus­pects in West and East Trinidad were ar­rest­ed and 19 South Amer­i­can fe­males. Young women were al­so res­cued from an­oth­er house along Morne Co­co Road in Diego Mar­tin and the Stir Fry King Restau­rant along Ari­api­ta Av­enue, Wood­brook.

Sources told Guardian Me­dia the po­lice got in­for­ma­tion about the man’s where­abouts and were able to catch him in­side a house in West­moor­ings. Sources said the man had been try­ing to make plans to leave the coun­try since the raid.

In­tel­li­gence sources say the sus­pect had leased the house on West­ern Dri­ve, West­moor­ings that po­lice raid­ed. He had en­tered this coun­try with a Guyanese pass­port and was al­so in pos­ses­sion of a Ja­maica li­cense which Guardian Me­dia has seen. A source fa­mil­iar with the on­go­ing case ex­plained that over the last few weeks they have been able to un­earth de­tailed in­for­ma­tion about how the sex ring is be­ing op­er­at­ed with the clout of the Asian mafia. Based on fur­ther in­for­ma­tion po­lice be­lieve the young women are smug­gled in by boat af­ter they are hand-picked by agents in Venezuela.

“This smug­gling op­er­a­tion takes place most­ly on the south­ern penin­su­la of Trinidad,” the source said.

There are at least 4 Caribbean countries other than Jamaica with higher rates than T&T..and before the recent spikes there were more..


A serious fight is taking place,see this year's rate be lower than last year,this thread is pointless..

Guyanese charged with killing doubles vendor ‘Pie’

THE 20-year-old Guyanese man who police arrested at the airport last week when he tried boarding a flight, has been charged with murdering Chaguanas doubles vendor Dhroop "Pie" Jagessar.

Police from the Homicide Bureau Region III, however, released the 52-year-old Guyanese woman who was held with the suspect. She is a close relative of Jagessar who was chopped to death last Monday at Susheela Drive, Chase Village in Chaguanas.

At about 2 am on Tuesday, security personnel at the Piarco airport arrested them while trying to get on a plane to Guyana. Police learnt that hours earlier, between 8 pm and 10 pm, Jagessar was chopped and killed.

A few days ago, legal officer PC Kyrn Lewis from the bureau, submitted a file to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions. On Friday evening Deputy DPP Joan Honore-Paul advised police to charge the man and release the woman.

The suspect is expected to appear in the Chaguanas Magistrates’ Court tomorrow.

'PH' driver and girlfriend rob passenger

A 23-year-old “PH” (private hire) driver is in police custody after he chopped and robbed a St Joseph man.

According to police reports, around 5.30 p.m. on Thursday, the victim, of Bhagaloo Extension, Enterprise, upon exiting a taxi at Upper Acono Road, Maracas, St Joseph, was confronted by the driver of the car.

The man pulled out a cutlass and announced a hold-up. The victim, police said, resisted the attack and fought back.

During the struggle, the victim managed to disarm the assailant, but he received cuts to his arms and body.

The assailant then instructed a woman who was in the car to secure another cutlass which was in the trunk. The woman did so and handed it over to the driver.

The 25-year-old victim, having suffered wounds, complied with the assailant’s second threat and announcement of a robbery.

''Open the door before we kill allyuh'

A retired police inspector, who operates a Lotto booth in Tunapuna, had to open fire on two men who threatened to kill him and his wife.

The incident took place around 7 p.m. on Thursday while the ex-inspector and his wife were at the Lotto booth, which is located along Eastern Main Road, Tunapuna.

Investigators were told that the couple were conducting sales when they heard a banging on the door. A male voice was then heard saying, “Open the door before we kill allyuh”.

The 56-year-old man then checked his CCTV system and saw two men standing outside the door, one of whom was holding an object resembling a firearm.

1.3 million people divided by 100,000 = 13

Another senseless brutal murder by the gun bringing the projected rate for 2019 to 572

572 divided by 13 = 44 approx


516 murders recorded in 2018. The year 2018 ended with 516 murders, making it the second deadliest year in the history of T&T.


The population of T&T 2018 Central Bank.....1,372,598

1,372,598 divided by 100,000 = 13.72598

516 murders divided by 13.73 = 37.5819

The number for 2018 is 37.5

These fiends of reason would have you believe that a man who counts in the millions with material yields and ratios etc don't understand the principles of simple apple and oranges averages..

And what's even more disingenuous is the fact that they choose to ignore the fact that the UN has adopted similar perspective in ranking countries safety and risk factors etc,so much so T&T and Jamaica are safer than the US..Even the failed and broken poster Courtesy after spreading these lies had to digress,so much so we don't even see his type around here anymore..

If only to refute your jackassery on this thread. Per capita is the metric that allows one to proceed with on an across the board comparison in country statistics. You cannot take aggregates from countries and proceed to compare these numbers because it will be meaningless, as countries have varying populations and you will not be comparing like with like. It will be plain wrong to so do. At the very least anyone with a basic education will understand this concept and not do any comparison like this.

You may wish further to explore the determinants (causes) of crime but you cannot use per capita to compare your murdering island TNT to Jamaica and other islands, while at the same time talking about and dissing Mexico's per capita murder - in which a number of cities there present with little or no crime. Why not compare one of these crime free cities in Mexico with TNT? It will be equally wrong to go that route. You cannot use per capita for "one bridge" selectively. Your words: "a bridge in Mexico in one day will have more murders than TNT." Your quoted bridge reference underpins your initial lack of knowledge on per capita. and I am not even certain that you fully understand the concept and its applicability. You are such an uneducated, insular idiot...plain and simple. And that is a dangerous cocktail.

As a statsman I will never deviate from this very fundamental methodology. What the poster posted was a 2014 UN Report on per per capita murder rate and he argued that the chance of being murdered (very important) in Saints Kitts & and Nevis and TNT was greater as compared with Mexico. Your insular bottom (ass) had you arguing otherwise. Your post then:

"How can a small country like Saint Kitts and Nevis compare with a country like Mexico which on any day, on one bridge, will have many more murders than Saint Kitts Nevis in one year?"...


And you still continue to highlight murders (selective incidents) in the USA and Canada as proof that the chances of being murdered in these countries are greater than TNT...FOOL. Btw, only a fool takes two data points (two months) and uses it to establish a year-end total. Two points of data is inadequate to establish a trend.

You are such an lying, simplistic, arrogant, insular, blind fool. You are only now beginning to understand per capita but you choose to be selective in its application. Stick with posting porn on this site. Have a great day. Btw, Happy New Year to the rest of you.

SITAL College is mourning and celebrating the life of Pandroutie “Pamela” Sinanan, who was killed and her body found in the Fullerton Beach last Thursday, four days after she disappeared.

Sinanan, 55, was last seen near her home at First Street, Maingot Road, Tacarigua last Monday morning, on her way to work at SITAL College where she was a member of the administrative team.

The next time anyone knew anything was when relatives went to the Forensic Science Centre, St James to identify her body.

An autopsy could not find the cause of death, but the pathologist ruled that it was “unnatural”.

Murder suspect asked neighbour for shovel to bury body


A 25-year-old woman is in police custody after she chopped a 74-year-old man to death and went to the victim's neighbour's home to ask for a shovel to bury the body.

Police said the man, Trevor Johnson was at his Savannah Drive, Sangre Grande home at around 1.30 am today when he was visited by the woman.

The suspect later told police that Johnson tried to talk her into having sex with him. She said she got angry, left his house and returned armed with a cutlass, chopping him on the left side of his neck. The woman then went to one of the man's neighbours to ask for a shovel borrowed, telling the neighbour, "I just killed someone."

Villagers made a citizens arrest and called the Sangre Grande Police who arrived some minutes later along with the district medical officer. Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman who operates a burger cart in the area is in police custody.

I suppose he meant "defibrillating." What an uneducated ass. He'll be sorry he woke me up.

Not only have I given this pathetic thread life time and time again,I have also given failed and broken poster courtesy a new lease on his pathetic existence..

Not this time,Not gonna be lured into a whole discourse about averages and basic stats,clearly he hasn't made any progress and remains a sterile and generic underachiever long missing his bus and having to walk with a very heavy axe to grind..

Poor fella..

You and STD deserve eachother,pathetic pair,one a failed professional with no grasp on reality and one a failed Trini and international loafer...

You cannot give anyone an existence based on the false diatribes you post.

In various postings, I have proven you to be clueless
about T&T, yet you persist.
I would be embarrassed.

Then you start with profanities about my mudda etc, it shows a loss of control and a poor upbringing.

I am not a failed Trini, if you only knew, you see I don't come on boasting about contracts, or family life, etc.

If you have kids, I hope they get their intelligence from
the maternal side of the family. If not I feel really sorry for them, no human being deserves such.

"Defibrillating" You are intellectually lazy and a complete fool. Any first grader would get this right. See, I am of use to your abject deficiency bottom (ass) in education.

However. you are of absolutely no use to me here intellectually. Next time avoid misrepresenting what I post here to furnish your own selfish ends. You will regret to have awoken a sleeping giant. You are nothing but a per capita fool.

But bravos you were the one who brought averages and stats to the thread. I never doubted you understandings per captica; you just badly deflected on Trinidad's issues with crime and talked about a bridge in Mexico.

Come on Nick, does a guy who introduced the number of murders "on one bridge in Mexico" as his reflection (understanding) of per capita appear to you to have a solid grasp of the per capita methodology? I believe you are being overly generous here. I am tempted to post the entire thread so you can establish a perspective and context to help guide your inference above.

He perhaps is getting the hang of it now but he does not have a clue about its applicability. I am delighted however that I have been of some assistance to him in his hour of need in education.

Thanks, I also want to do a study on the correlation between barbed wire sales and the level of crime. Can you get from the TNT Chamber of Commerce the level of sales for the past 5 years. I believe the Bravos barbed wire brand came on the market 5 years ago. I want to see if he is one of the persons benefiting from crime in TNT.

Thanks. As a businessman Bravos should have a vested interest in the crime levels. Perhaps I can solicit his assistance also in that regard. After all, he should have yearly barbed wire sales at the tip of his fingers if he is a good businessman doing his analysis.

Now sgtdjones , based on your 87 murders over a 59 day period (Jan + Feb). I have projected 538 murders for the year. I must admit that this does not factor in seasonality but it's a reasonable projection based on daily rate.
538

And the fool is so confident that the numbers will decrease significantly.

Venezuelan dad dies innocently...
as gunmen open fire on target

A MAN with a criminal history and an innocent bystander were killed in a drive-by shooting Couva on Friday.

Police said the bullets were meant for Daniel Renaldo Bute who was known to them for narcotics offences.

But Roni Henson Bruzal, a Venezuelan national, was merely walking past Bute when he too was shot, police said.

Bruzal's daughter was next to him when the bullets struck him, but she was not hurt.

The shooting occurred around 6.40 p.m. in front of Maddy's Mini Mart at the corner of Junon Street and Southern Main Road.

Bute, a labourer, was standing on the pavement in front of the mini mart and Bruzal, a rigger, and his daughter were walking into the business place.

A silver Nissan Tiida pulled up in front of Bute and fired three shots, then sped off.

Bruzal stumbled into the mini mart and died on the floor.

Bute was taken to the Couva District Health Facility where he was pronounced dead.
