The family of Chad Joseph, a TT national who is believed to have been killed when US forces bombed a boat off Venezuela’s coast, say they feel as though the authorities have deserted them.

Joseph’s family claims he was among six men who died on October 14, when the US government claimed its military destroyed a boat which it alleged was transporting drug traffickers.

It was the fifth such missile strike by the US in its offensive against alleged narco-traffickers in the southern Caribbean.
