A quiet street in Maraval became the centre of a dramatic police operation on Sunday morning, when kidnapped Caribbean Airlines pilot Captain Daniel Kawall was rescued by officers on Fourth Street, just off Saddle Road.

The location, in a residential part of Maraval, was pinpointed following a coordinated investigation led by the Anti-Kidnapping Unit (AKU). Police swooped in shortly before 11a.m., ending the ordeal that began nearly five days earlier. During the operation, one suspect was killed.

Kawall, who lives in Valsayn North and operates a business in Piarco, had last been seen on Wednesday. His Toyota Hilux was reportedly spotted that night in Cascade, where residents reported hearing screams coming from the vehicle.
