Hanging as a death penalty cannot be legally enforced at this time, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said yesterday.

She said this was based on a report provided to her by Attorney General John Jeremie on the matter.

Speaking at yesterday’s post-Cabinet news conference at the Red House in Port of Spain, the Prime Minister explained that according to that report, the number of inmates on death row as of May 10, 2025, is 38.
