The TT Police Service (TTPS) is actively investigating two matters involving two of its officers.

A spokesperson from the TTPS' corporate communications unit told Newsday that the service is thoroughly investigating the kidnapping and subsequent murder of Vishnu Lalla, 62, confirming that an officer was among at least two people detained in the enquiries.

The livestock farmer was taken from outside his Dairy Road, California, Couva home on Saturday evening. A $100,000 ransom was demanded by midnight for his safe return. His silver Toyota Hilux was found destroyed by fire a short distance from his house that night. He was found dead in some bushes near Brechin Castle, Couva, on Sunday night.
