Two of the murders which took place during Carnival Tuesday in St James and Sangre Grande have been solved say police.

At a media briefing at the Police Administrative building on March 11, Acting DCP operations Curt Simon said police were concerned about the murder rate, including the seven murders that took place during the Carnival weekend and immediately after.

“I know that over that last weekend there were seven murders that persons were very much concerned about, and we too, the TTPS (TT Police Service), we too have some concerns when we see murders take on that splurge after that appearance of that reduction.”
