Al­though a State of Emer­gency (SoE) re­mains in ef­fect for T&T and the au­thor­i­ties have record­ed a 20 per cent de­cline in homi­cides so far this year in com­par­i­son to last year, mem­bers of the T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) top brass are still con­cerned about the coun­try’s mur­der rate.

The lat­est in­ci­dent at 12.48 pm yes­ter­day, claimed the life of Bel­mont res­i­dent Mar­vin Phillip.

Phillip, 33, of Vin­cent Brown Street, Gon­za­les, was re­port­ed­ly shot by un­known gun­men near his home.
