UNC political leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar said if elected to government, the party will "consider" the reintroduction of hangings.
Her comment came in response to a question from Cunupia businessman Ravi Rampersad during an anti-crime town hall meeting at the Centre Point Mall, Chaguanas on April 3.
In his question, Rampersad expressed frustration with how slowly firearm user licences were being approved and asked if she would revamp the system if elected. He also asked if she would resume hangings to curb the spiralling murder rate.
