TRINIDAD-CRIME-Bloody weekend in Trinidad
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – At least 12 people were killed during the long weekend here forcing national security officials to meet in an emergency session and a former national security minister criticising the coalition People’s Partnership government in Trinidad and Tobago over its crime strategy.
Police confirmed that the 12 people were killed over the long Emancipation weekend with National Security Minister Emmanuel George describing five of the murders as gang-related.
“The first thing all of us have to say is to express condolences to the families of the respective murder victims. This unfortunate turn of events must, I am sure, be very devastating to all the families involved,” George told reporters after he met with Acting Police Commissioner Stephen Williams, Chief of Defence Staff Major General Kenrick Maharaj, Commanding Officer of the Trinidad and Tobago Regiment Colonel Rodney Smart and Deputy Police Commissioner Mervyn Richardson.
