Even as Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar ex­pressed se­ri­ous con­cern over yes­ter­day’s triple mur­der in Laven­tille, at least one res­i­dent is again call­ing for a State of Emer­gency (SoE), say­ing the coun­try’s crime sit­u­a­tion is out of con­trol.

De­clin­ing to give her name, the young woman, who is the com­pan­ion of one of the mur­dered men, said, “Yes! I think a lot of peo­ple would wel­come an­oth­er SoE in the coun­try.”

Speak­ing from the com­mu­ni­ty of Mc­Shine Lands, Laven­tille, she said the killings left sev­er­al chil­dren fa­ther­less, forc­ing moth­ers to take on the role of bread­win­ners overnight.
