The family of seven-year-old Angelica Jogie, who was killed in the April jet ski tragedy at Pigeon Point Heritage Park, has launched legal action against jet ski operator Ashworth Burnett, also known as “Whistle”; the Tobago House of Assembly; and Pigeon Point Heritage Park Limited.

In a pre-action protocol letter filed by Senior Counsel Anand Ramlogan and Freedom Law Chambers on Wednesday, the Jogie family alleges that negligence, systemic safety failures and a reckless disregard for public safety led to the child’s death.

According to the legal letter, Angelica was bathing with relatives at Pigeon Point on April 8th when a jet ski allegedly entered a restricted bathing area and slammed into the family.
