Trinidad and Tobago’s Acting Commissioner of Police Earla Christopher said the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) is executing an all-out effort to solve cases involving several killings over the weekend.
In a statement, the TTPS said it is pursuing several leads.
“The weekend has indeed been an unwelcomed one. However, the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) continues to work assiduously to investigate the recent murders, pursuing several strong leads.” The statement read.
The TTPS said the prevalence of illegal guns is a central focus of the Service and Christopher has taken charge of strategies targeting the influx of firearms.
The murder toll in Trinidad continued to rise over the weekend after several killings were reported, including discovery of three bullet-riddled bodies in a car in Carapo, three shot dead in Cunupia, and in a third unrelated incident, skeletal remains were found in a vehicle in Claxton Bay which had been set on fire.
