The jet ski operator detained in connection with the death of seven-year-old Angelica Saydee Jogie at Pigeon Point, Tobago, has been released pending further investigation.

Assistant Commissioner of Police (Tobago) Rishi Singh confirmed yesterday the 32-year-old operator from Canaan Feeder Road Tobago was released last Saturday as investigations into the matter continue. The Express reached out to the jet ski operator yesterday but he said he preferred not to be interviewed on the matter.

Following the incident, jet ski operators across Tobago have rallied in support of the detained operator, describing him as experienced and responsible, while also calling for urgent regulation of the industry.
