POLITICAL leader of the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) Watson Duke on Wednesday night called on acting Police Commissioner McDonald Jacob to give an update into the police killing of three people last month.

Duke spoke in a Facebook live broadcast at a candlelight vigil at the corner of Independence Square and Chacon Street, where the killing took place.

He said he and the family were given some assurances last time they met with Jacob that to date have not materialised.

“You see these young people out here? They are concerned. I am concerned.

“I am calling upon Commissioner Jacob to do the honourable thing. Tell us, those police who committed murder, what is going on with them?”

Calls to Jacob went unanswered on Thursday.

On July 2, Leonardo Williams, Fabien Richards and Isaiah Roberts were killed by police who claimed the three shot at them.

Williams and Roberts, both 17, and Richards, 21, were among six who were chased from Diego Martin to Independence Square, Port of Spain, where they were killed in the alleged shootout.

Two survivors were arrested. A 15-year-old boy who was in the car was shot in the right arm and grazed on the abdomen.

All three were released without charge days after the incident, although police said a Smith and Wesson pistol was found in the car.

The autopsy reports on the three who were killed said Williams died from multiple gunshot wounds to the back, right buttocks and forearm; Roberts was shot in the back of the head and right lower back; and Richards was also shot in the back of the head, neck and upper limbs.

Lead investigator in the triple killing Snr Supt Neil Brandon-John told Newsday on July 21 he was awaiting documents from the Forensic Science Centre to dictate the next step in the investigations. On Thursday he reiterated that his officers were still awaiting the documents.

Three officers involved in the killing were removed from patrols and put on desk duty pending the outcome of the investigation.

At the vigil, Williams’s father Leo Williams called on Jacob to suspend the officers without pay instead.

“I want to ask the Commissioner of Police why he take these police officers out of the hot sun and put them in an airconditioned office behind a desk, I watch that as a promotion. So I want to know why Mc Donald Jacob protecting these murderers for?”

Recalling the charging of eight police officers for murder in a two-year-old shooting in Morvant, Duke said the officers involved in last month’s killing should also be charged with murder.

“Justice must not just be justice, it must appear to be…it must look a particular way. Don’t take too long. It is a growing concern that has not left our eyes. People are still feeling pain. We will not allow the matter to die and will not see this swept under the carpet.

“No murderer should be in the police service, they should be in jail.”

The National Academy for the Performing Arts (Napa) in Port of Spain.

In commemoration of International Youth Day on August 12, the Ministry of Youth Development and National Service has been hosting a three-day Youth Week celebration featuring an entrepreneurship village and career fair at both NAPA and SAPA.

The career fair at NAPA was held on August 10, and the entrepreneurship village is being hosted on August 11. Both events will take place simultaneously at SAPA on August 11.

In a release issued on Tuesday, the ministry said the intended purpose of these events was to promote and attract young people. It said over 30 youth entrepreneurs will showcase their products and services at the village, and a similar number of organisations in the private and public sectors will be on hand to provide career and financial guidance and employment opportunities to young people in both traditional and non-traditional career markets.

The career fair at NAPA on Wednesday was attended by students from the Military-Led Academic Training Programme (MILAT) and the Civilian Conservation Corps Programme (CCC) and featured a wide variety of booths, including some hosted by the police, fire services, the military, Caribbean Airlines and Republic Bank.

A student from MILAT who preferred to go unnamed told Newsday he thinks the initiative is an excellent one, as it provides a source of inspiration, saying, “I honestly have not thought much about what I want to do after school. And I know that I’m not the only one in that boat – a few of my friends can say the same. Something like this not only causes us to begin seriously considering our futures, it can cause a lightbulb moment.”

Asked if that epiphany had hit as yet, he replied, “Well, I’ve always wanted to travel the world, so that makes CAL a good option since I’ll get to go all over. But honestly, I still haven’t settled on just one thing yet. There are a few things I’m interested in that I think will complement my skills well.”

He added that even though he is still uncertain, not knowing what he wants to do out of a variety of appealing options is much better than not considering the future at all.
