Siparia woman hacked to death
Homicide investigators say they are still piecing together clues in Wednesdays tragic death of Siparia gardener Angela McKenzie. However, her family believes she was hacked to death by a man who had been stealing her crops.
McKenzie, 64, lived in an isolated community known as The Project, off the 21 1/2 mile mark, Quinam Road.
Even if she was screaming during the attack by her killer, it is unlikely that anyone would have heard as her nearest neighbour lives almost a kilometre away.
Police said that around 5 pm, a neighbour went to McKenzies home and found her bleeding in her front yard.
Siparia police were contacted and they responded along with an ambulance but McKenzie was already dead as her neck had been almost severed.
There were also chop wounds to her hands and shoulder.
Detectives from the Homicide Bureau of Investigations, Region Three and crime scene investigators returned to the scene yesterday where McKenzies relatives had gathered.

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 Katwaroos 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.

Gang Leader Burkie: Sea Lots residents are peaceful people
On the heels of Sundays drive-by shooting where two people were killed and six others wounded and another woman killed early Monday, community activist Cedric Burkie Burke insists that residents of Sea Lots are under attack, adding that they are peaceful people.
Burke made the comment during CNC3s Morning Brew yesterday, hours after police locked down the community on Monday night to ensure there was no further violence.
Minutes after the deadly shooting, it was said that there was a hit on Burkes life. However, he said he believes otherwise as he escaped unhurt.
Burke and several residents were playing a game of poker at Pioneer Drive, just off the Churchill Roosevelt Highway, Sunday, when two vehicles pulled up shortly after 8 pm and its occupants opened fire on them.
Rawlye Williams, 37, died on the spot while calypsonian Patrick Revealer Lewis died of his injuries at the Port-of-Spain General Hospital. Six others, Jamal Leid, 24; Nigel Roberts, 30; Shenelle Johnson, 24; Trey Baird, 22; Trevor Isaac, 56 and Rahim Bruce, 23, were also hit.
During yesterdays interview, Burke said one of Sundays victims remains warded in the Intensive Care Unit at the Port-of-Spain General Hospital.
Asked how he felt knowing that he was the target of the shooting, Burke said he has nothing to fear and will go about his daily routine as normal, I have never and never will be. The people are cool and will go about their lives as normal. Sea Lots dont have any violence, we dont create any kind of violence.

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.
Through the use of translators, Griffith himself has spoken to many of the victims, and has expressed his sympathy for what they experienced.
Speaking with Express this morning, Griffith said that this operation was a major breakthrough in the trafficking of women from Venezuela, and possibly even the trafficking of drugs.

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.
Sgt Wilson of the Old Grange CID is continuing enquiries.

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.

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 persons 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 Ragoobars body in the hospitals mortuary and positively identified him.
I gone to identify the body and when I gone that was my son. I say wait, thats not my son because thats 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
Asamis case a priority for Cold Case Unit
Three years after the murder of Japanese pan player Asami Nagakiya, the T&T Police Services 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 todays third anniversary of the discovery of Nagakiyas 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 Legacys Carnival band. Her body was found by a CEPEP worker on Ash WednesdayFebruary 9at the base of a tree in the Queens Park Savannah. She was still clad in her Legends 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 Nagakiyas 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 mistakewife
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 Pierres 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 Pierres 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, Pierres 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 didnt 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 yesterdays crucial Panorama preliminaries.
As a result of the incident, the bands 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.

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..

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 gangsthe 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, Franciscos 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 Franciscos murder or other unrelated inquiries.
According to a police report, at about 10.30 am residents heard several gunshots coming from Franciscos 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.

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.

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

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 mans 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.

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.

Jamaica consistently in the 40's-50's + per/100,000,not too long ago they went down to just under 40/100,000 and at that time T&T was in the mid 20's/100,000 then the whole place tun up from North to South,though one murder is one too many T&T even at it's highest in 2008 has never entered the 40's per 100,000,not even last year with just over 500,and not even at this high rate which is still lower than last year at this juncture..

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

I always maintained that per-capita was not a good example,per -capita says that a country with over 340 blood free days a year and 20 odd fools killing each other in shit territory on the other days is more deadly than Mexico where the dead bodies on one bridge can easily surpass that country's annual total,where from judge to politician and political motorcades to journalists to numerous hundreds of law enforcement officers are slaughtered..
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.

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.
