SC Dana Seetahal murder - 11 men charged Pg.34

"Williams in response said he did not hear the comment made by the National Security Minister, but if the comments were made, it was “unfortunate” as the Police Service was responsible for dealing with matters such as this."

Really Mr. Ag. Police Commissioner? That bland statement you would publicly make? So then it goes to show the inexcusable approach you have in solving crime. :/

Sources: Dana was killed with Galil rifle
On the night of May 4, 2014, when senior counsel Dana Seetahal was shot dead, the killer who came almost face to face with her used a Galil rifle. This was revealed by senior intelligence sources with inside information who explained that following extensive ballistic tests which had been recently completed, they were able to verify the type of gun used. They said the main shooter was a contract killer from east Trinidad who was not in police custody up to late yesterday. However, they have intensified their search for him following information they recently received from informants, some of whom are incarcerated. Acting Commissioner of Police Stephen Williams had said many months ago that they did seek foreign help in the investigation. However, in a news release issued yesterday, the Williams lashed out at the media for publishing stories on the current status of investigations, with special emphasis on a newspaper report that a FBI official may be assisting in the investigations. “The TTPS considers it extremely irresponsible the naming of any officer/individual from any agency or organisation who may or may not be assisting with the investigation,” the release stated. Newsday on Sunday reported that FBI agent Patrick Farris was helping local investigators. Public Affairs Officer at the US Embassy, Stephen Weeks, said in a brief interview yesterday that it was “an open police investigation” and he would not comment on whether or not the FBI was assisting local authorities. However, several months ago former minister of national security Gary Griffith had alluded to the Government seeking help from the FBI. Williams in his release also stated he was “mindful of the legitimate public interest attending the investigation; and in regard, urges restraint in any form of media reporting or commentary and calls for an absence of speculation which could possibly hamper the investigation”. Even after Williams made statements last week that Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Harold Phillip would be approaching the Director of Public Prosecutions (Roger Gaspard SC) soon, he indicated in his release yesterday that media reports “are inconsistent with the progress of the investigation thus far and manifest obvious distortions with material facts of the case”. CASE HISTORY Seetahal was killed around 12.05 a.m. on May 4 while driving her Volkswagen SUV towards her One Woodbrook Place home. Police reported the incident took place in the vicinity of the Woodbrook Youth Facility on Hamilton Holder/O’Connor streets, as she was on her way to her apartment after leaving the Ma Pau casino. Residents reported hearing several gunshots followed by the sound of screeching tyres. Seetahal was found slumped over the steering wheel of her Volkswagen Touareg. She had been shot five times and was pronounced dead at the scene. It is believed her attackers followed her from the casino and ambushed her along Hamilton Holder and O’Connor streets.

For once I agree with Stephen. The media does nonsense like that all the time and is never held accountable.

[shogun]

Laziness and inertia is what has elements of the media printing stories based on hear say, rather than doing the footwork to gather the facts in order to meet press time. They need to get called out until they get their acts together. They need to get it right with this case especially. I still sour about Dana's murder. No lie.

How are we so sure that the ACOP's account is more truthful than the Express'?

[Dizzy28]

^^^ Isn't the Galil the standard service rifle for the TTDF??

[rollingstock]

^ and TTPS.

But there is no way to tell what firearm was used, the 5.56 round is also used in the AR15 and AK47 which are common in T&T and the Galil is just an Israeli made AK basically, plus there are illegal Galil's in the country.

[Dizzy28]

Galils are not 7.62s??

Speaking of Galils this morning I saw some TTDF personnel in the road by the TTPS facility in the Garden Road Aranguez. One youth man in TTDF camo holding the Galil and its almost 1/2 his body length. He didn't even look like he make 20 years old yet.

[rfari]

RS u saw the CCTV footage ?

[rollingstock]

Galil's are 5.56.
Ak's come 5.56, 7.62x39 and 7.62x51mm

[Adrenalinerush]

Galil's are 5.56.
Ak's come 5.56, 7.62x39 and 7.62x51mm

Actually the Galil is available in both the 5.56mm & .308 cal...they look the same but the easiest way to tell the difference is the mag...if it is a box mag, is 7.62...if it curved, is 5.56mm

[Chimera]

Which one you use to shoot the woman adrenaline?

[shogun]

Ian alleyne coulda cleanup the video for them

"mere weeks before her death the State Department had been collaborating with her on implementing various measures to aid law enforcement, including plea bargaining methodology."

Hmmmmm.

[kaylex]

Typical Trini talkin in their rassclat..
You all really think anybody go take the fall for this..

they had to call in foreigners to solve this.. and probably mess up the evidence ...

Once you see moves like Andy Johnson heading security units.. you know is pure toilet ...
Dana done rotten down.. #nojustice..

[PariaMan]

It was obvious from day one that steven blocking.

Logically it has to be from someone higher up in the society.

Higher ups are Politicians or big business.

However Politicians are always in the pockets of Big Business .

One and the same.

Nobody will ever be brought to trial!

[UML]

When they say Crime is big business yuh ever really think what they mean

Lets see:

Money from Crimes
Lawyer fees
CCTV systems
Automatic Gates
Security Guards
Transporting criminals to Court
Feeding Criminals in Prison
Burglar proofing
Firearm Industry
