Police Constable Russell Bedasse has escalated his protest against the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service’s handling of his mother’s suspicious death, this time announcing his intention to formally resign.

It is the latest in a string of actions taken by the officer, who last week went public accusing colleagues of incompetence and negligence in handling the case.

Bedasse again took to social media yesterday, insisting that he alone observed crucial details at the scene of the death of his mother Shelawaithie Bedasse, 57, which trained investigators failed to notice.
