And the plot thickens... and drop kicks the cops...So what happened to the sadistic killer and his sidekick????? thought they were responsible and that's why there was a "big Man hunt" Either guardian needs to seriously to their research before reporting or the police needs to stick with a story- from yesterday's story to this I am fed up and disgusted. I hope this man in custody is the real killer and not some scape goat. But, I'm sure we'll never hear of this story after this just like Salis whoever that killed all those women from last year....What rubbish..

Love yourself before you love anybody else. So many murders unsolved, so many dying on a daily basis.

How much licks passed on him?

The man, police sources said, had been in police custody since Monday but only decided to "come clean" on his alleged involvement when interviewed by three homicide detectives who flew in from Trinidad to handle the case. He, however, refused to speak with officers from the Tobago Division and other law enforcement agencies in Tobago who had initially started the probe. Police were only able to crack the case when acting Deputy Police Commissioner Gilbert Reyes instructed that acting ASP Johnny Abraham, Insp Stanley Ramdeen and PC Sunil Ramoutar of the Region II Homicide Bureau of Investigations take over the case. On Wednesday, the officers arrived in Tobago and started their inquiries. They visited the crime scene and reviewed statements taken from neighbours and other police officers.
On Thursday night, the officers were able to secure an alleged confession statement for the suspect.

Four days in police custody with dunceys beating on yuh, you will confess to anything too.

Did he 'refuse' to speak to Tobago cops? Or did he have nothing to confess until Trini cops came and beat 'a confession' out of him? There is immense public and political pressure for the perpetrator of this particular crime to be found asap... the entire tourism industry of Tobago may be riding on it.

Me? I doubt anything is as it seems...

Jumbie's Watch

I hope and pray they will open back the hangman's noose for this horrible crime committed on this British couple. I am just fed-up of feeding these bastards in jail with my tax dollars.
Please Mr. Philbert make these thugs pay the hard way. Stop keeping them in jail and feeding them with my tax dollars.
Trinidad & Tobago has the worst name for crime and corruption in the whole wide world.
Please Mr. Philbert let the citizens of the island feel safe to live there and not have to run from the islands.

Is there a connection here with the fact that this crime was committed on Emancipation Day and the conclusion of Heritage Festival.

I also want to see the Trinidad crime team deal with a "Cold Case".
The Killing of Eileen and John Dobson in their own home at Signall Hill needs to be dealt with. They were a beautiful ,kind ,respectable couple who were too old to harm anybody. The lack of bringing the perpetrator to justice is still a real hurt in Tobago.
Was it because they were local white people that nothing was done.

Oh, and another case to look into is the beating and almost killing of the elderly Montano ccouple at Bacolet some years ago.

The raping of younger foreigners in the Mt Irvine areas makes it suspiciousthat there is more than robbery going on in some instances.

How do "wanted" people walk through the gates to the ferry or via Piarco to go to Tobago without they getting arrested? and why dont Tobago terminals look out for wanted vagabonds? do we need an id card & computer check out first in and out?

It is amazing that in a geographically tiny area like Bacolet with a population of maybe a few hundred residents, if that much, it takes so long to find leads on such a horrific crime.I sincerely hope this is the right man, and if there are accomplices, that they are found and made to feel the full extent of the punishment for this crime. They should be made an example for other criminals. This is an act of brutality that is so vicious and disgusting on innocent and good people. I am so sickened by this and I sincerely hope the police and the government will do their duty and find, punish and put away these savages that are destroying the beauty of Trinidad, and now Tobago.
