The High Court has ordered the release of two men held in connection with the disappearance and murder of 60-year-old Charleville businessman Imraz “Clubs” Ali, if they are not charged by 4 pm on October 17.

The order, issued on October 16 by Justice Karen Reid in the Port of Spain High Court, came after a virtual hearing in a habeas corpus application filed on behalf of the two suspects, a market vendor and a labourer, against the Commissioner of Police.

In the ruling, the court directed that the second applicant must be released immediately if no charges are laid by the specified deadline.
