TT: 14 murders recorded over the weekend, CoP says gangs becoming desperate

Trinidad & Tobago Police Commissioner Erla Harewood-Christopher says the country has not lost the handle on crime, as the country recorded 14 murders over the last weekend.

Speaking at a news conference last night, Commissioner Harewood-Christopher said of the 14 murders, seven were gang-related, two drug-related, and two due to robberies, while the motives of three of the murders were unknown.

The Commissioner said the gangs were becoming desperate as police continue to make inroads in the fight against crime, even as she acknowledged that the last weekend had been a challenging one.

The top cop said while the immediate goal is to apprehend and prosecute those responsible for the weekend's murders, the bigger goal is bringing an end to senseless gun violence and murder.
