Two Suspects in Tobago Murders

Nigel Fraser aka Redman who was murdered on Saturday
near his business.  

A man from Bon Accord, suspected to be the driver of the gold Nissan Almera seen leaving the scene following the murder of Nigel Fraser on Saturday, was held later that afternoon in Scarborough and is assisting police in their investigations.

A man from Plymouth is also being questioned by police, while another man from Tobago is being sought in connection with the murder.

Officers said the matter has reached a sensitive stage, but things are progressing nicely.

Fraser was shot six times at his clothing store, Redman Fashion, along Wilson Road in Scarborough.

An autopsy confirmed he was shot three times in the stomach, once in the head, once in the shoulder and once in the chest.

And taxi driver Dain Kent, who was killed last Thursday in Tobago, died as a result of a single gunshot wound to the head.

Both autopsies were conducted by pathologist Dr Hughvon Des Vignes, at the Scarborough Mortuary on Monday.

Kent was found dead in some bushes at Mt Grace flats, with his car abandoned nearby.

Fraser was gunned down in Scarborough, much to the horror of onlookers who were doing their weekend shopping.

The Scarborough Homicide Bureau is continuing investigations into both incidents, which have pushed the murder toll in Tobago for the year to date to four.

Tobago Top Cops: Getting Tough On Rising Crime

Serious crimes are up in Tobago and Assistant Commissioner of Police (Tobago) Heflin George and Senior Superintendent Garfield Moore say the war to send the cri­minals packing is on.

George is disappointed with the upsurge among a population of more than 55,000 in Tobago and said his officers will do what it takes to reverse the negative trend. 

Some of the crime hot spots in Tobago are Bethel, Glen Road, Low­­er Scarborough, Blenheim, Sou Sou Lands, Canaan Bon Accord and Plymouth.

“We have some serious concerns about serious crimes in Tobago, especially break-ins and lar­ce­ny, robberies, as the case may be,” George said on Friday.

In 2009, Tobago was at the bottom of the statistics in crime, out of nine Police Service divisions in Trinidad and Tobago. 

But now, Tobago stands at number seven.

Senior Superintendent Moore called this an indictment on the service which must be changed.

He said delinquent officers will feel the full brunt of the law if found guilty of assisting criminals. 

And he insisted that police brutality reports were being investigated.

“I am aware some of those reports are outstanding, but the reports are not going to be swept below the table. We will investigate them to ensure if any wrong-doing comes to our knowledge that the appropriate action is taken,” Moore said.

The lawmen said though it was a daunting task, all was not lost as community police patrols had been stepped up, additional training for the police was ongoing and closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in Tobago were fully operational.

No criminal will be allowed to slip through the cracks, they said. 

Additionally, there is also co-op­eration between Tobago police and the Citizens Security Programme, and senior officers pro­mised within the next two months, citizens can expect significant results in the fight against crime.

Blind Men in TT

He has to be Blind
How Blind can one man be? When the Deputy Commissioner of Police Mervyn Richardson  could say that crime in Trinidad and Tobago is down, is tantamount to deception. I mean These people got to think that we the public is fools, that they come every Monday morning and feed us rubbish as if we're going to believe it. Mr. Richardson take your story and feed hog. Crime is NOT on the decrease.
