The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) is defending its decision to detain Kaia Sealy as she arrived in the country early yesterday morning.
Speaking at the Police Administration Building, Port of Spain, ASP Owie Russell was asked why police moved to arrest Sealy even though she had previously indicated, through her attorney, that she would have surrendered to authorities around 9 a.m. yesterday after visiting her doctor.
“The TTPS will operate without fear or affection or malice or ill will. And in matters like this where we are expecting persons to return to the country, that is how we operate,” Russell said.
