For­mer prime min­is­ter and Op­po­si­tion MP Stu­art Young has fol­lowed through on a promise made in Par­lia­ment by for­mal­ly writ­ing Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro, re­quest­ing po­lice in­ter­view De­fence Min­is­ter Wayne Sturge over state­ments link­ing two re­cent dead­ly shoot­ings.

In a let­ter dat­ed May 11 and marked “ur­gent”, Young asked the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice to ques­tion Sturge af­ter the min­is­ter claimed dur­ing his con­tri­bu­tion in the House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives on Fri­day that he knew the re­cent mur­ders were con­nect­ed and ref­er­enced Young's con­stituen­cy ex­plic­it­ly.

Young en­closed a copy of the Hansard pro­ceed­ings from May 8 and re­ferred specif­i­cal­ly to Sturge’s con­tri­bu­tion as MP for To­co/San­gre Grande and Min­is­ter of De­fence.
