Two days after acting corporal Anuska Eversley was found dead at the San Fernando Municipal Police Station, and a cache of firearms and ammunition was stolen from the station’s strong room, head of the Trinidad and Tobago Municipal Police Service (TTMPS), Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Surrendra Sagramsingh has been sent on leave.

Sagramsingh confirmed this in a telephone interview with the Express earlier today.

Asked to confirm rumours that he was sent on leave, he said: “Well, yes. I’ve been sent on administrative leave for the course of the investigation.”
