Serial Killers Trinidad and Tobago

Boysie Singh
Robber, arsonist, pirate, mass-murderer and vice and gambling king of Trinidad, Boysie Singh was a much-reported celebrity in the 1940s and 1950s who turned the wartime US occupation hugely to his advantage. As the operator of a shuttle service between Venezuela and Trinidad he is reputed to have dumped many passengers to the sharks. As a pirate in the Gulf of Paria he sank many Venezuelan boats involved in the contraband trade and killed their crews. He was eventually hanged for just one crime, in the case of the missing dancer, a murder he may not, in fact, have committed, and for which no body was ever found.

3 held in Tobago double murders

Homicide detectives have held three people, among them a woman, in connection with the killing of British lawyer Richard Wheeler and his Trinidadian wife Grace. The suspects are in their 20s.
The announcement was made by Assistant Commissioner of Police Homicide Vincel Edwards who was selected by acting Commissioner of Police Stephen Williams to head a special investigative team to probe the double tragedy.
He was speaking at a special police news conference at the Scarborough Police Station yesterday.
The female suspect and one of the male suspects are from Tobago while the other male detainee is from St Vincent.

Nankissoon Boodram
Nankissoon Boodram, alias “Dole Chadee,” was the pioneer of Trinidad and Tobago’s cocaine highway from Colombia, utilizing violence and connections with high-level Trinidadian authorities to build a criminal empire.
While the amount of cocaine trafficked by Boodram remains unclear, his influence within Trinidad and Tobago was formidable. A 1987 report into the country’s drug landscape connected Boodram with state authorities as high up as the then-chief of police. Ultimately, it wasn’t Boodram’s drug trafficking crimes that finished him; he was sentenced to death and executed in Trinidad for murder in 1994.

Gangs Are the New Law in Urban Trinidad & Tobago

Recent incidents of intense violence in Trinidad & Tobago’s capital, Port-of-Spain, have drawn attention to the nation’s rampant gang problem.
On September 11, the ruthless beheading of a man—reported by the police as a warning from gang members—exemplified a recent increase in the already significant brutality of gang activity in Port-of-Spain.
There are currently over 100 gangs in Trinidad & Tobago, a small nation consisting of two islands and a total population of just over 1,300,000. One of the larger gangs, Jamaat al Muslimeen, is comprised of 600 members under just one unnamed boss.

A Trinidad crime boss and his 600-strong gang are reportedly behind a recent flare up of violence on the island as they compete with rivals for lucrative government contracts, highlighting the deep penetration of gangs into Caribbean civic life.
The unnamed gang leader, linked to controversial Muslim organization Jamaat al Muslimeen, controls 21 “clips” (local gang factions) — some of which are exclusively Muslim — operating in the troubled eastern and southern parts of the capital, Port of Spain

From Sexual Sadist, Rapist, to Serial Rapist then Serial Killer in Trinidad and Tobago: A Colossal Failure of Policing

Analysis of what has been published in the daily print media of Trinidad and Tobago especially the testimony of an abduction, robbery and rape victim reveals the enterprise of a sexual sadist, rapist who evolved into a serial rapist, then into a serial killer to silence his victims to ensure the integrity of his enterprise and the sustainability of the impunity he was afforded by the colossal failure of policing and the court system of Trinidad and Tobago. The burning question is then is how often then did he abduct rape and how many of his rape victims did he kill. Alas we will never know because he is silenced, beaten to death, when we all need him alive to deconstruct his mind methodically, without a hint of violence to reveal to us where did he dump his victims and when.
March 2, 2021 The testimony of another victim of the deceased serial rapist/serial killer reveals that he was operational in the Chaguanas transport hub where at least 3 victims of rape and one who was abducted made reports to the TTPS.

Dale Pierre and William Andrews

Dale Pierre, also known as Pierre Dale Selby, was born on the isle of Tobago in 1952, but grew up on the isle of Trinidad. Growing up, Dale was always in trouble for one thing or another, although his parents tried to instill in him the difference between what was right and what was wrong.

Dale was a compulsive liar and he had a temper that he tried to control, and when he knew that someone had his game, he became subdued. If Dale didn't get what he wanted, when he wanted it, there was no standing him, but this side of him was not known to his parents.

The Beast of Biche

In years gone by, the story of Mano Benjamin evoked terror among children. Benjamin was an outsider whom Biche children called the Greenfaced man but to the rest of the country, he was known as the Beast of Biche.
Today, not many young people know the story of Benjamin who held two sisters Lucieann and Dulcie Ramirez captive inside a house at the Biche quarry where he raped, tortured and abused them in the 1960s. He served 20 years in prison for his crimes. One of the sisters was blinded with acid while the other was sexually mutilated. Both women have since died and their descendants up to this day do not know the extent of torture they endured.

Villager Albert Mc Kenzie, 80, recalled the days when Benjamin evoked terror in the community. Describing Benjamin as a boastful man, Mc Kenzie said he used to lime at a bar in Biche and always had a knife at hand. He prided himself on being an excellent knife thrower, Mc Kenzie said.To the public, he will always be reviled for blinding two girls with an ice pick, shooting pellets into their bodies, and enslaving them at his home in a secluded part of Canque, Bichean area that, almost 40 years later, is still forested.

On the day Benjamin was arrested, Mc Kenzie said he happened to be in Biche.
