State witness Jarvis Mark and his family have gone into hiding after gunmen riddled his house and car with bullets on Monday night.
Mark, 26, has been predicting that he would be gunned down after receiving death threats.
He is the State’s main witness in a case against a police officer who was charged for allegedly renting out his service firearm to criminals. The matter is before the court. Recalling the shooting incident yesterday, Mark said he was at home with his sister when he heard a loud explosion. “At first, I did not think that it was gunshots, but then I heard a second explosion and the glass windows shattered,” Mark said. Pointing to the bullet-riddled windows, Mark said the gunmen also attempted to blow up his rented car because they targeted the area of the gas tank.
Mark said the Anti-Corruption Investigation Bureau promised to keep him safe, but they reneged on the agreement. He said he sought help from head of National Security, Prime Minister Patrick Manning, and National Security Minister Martin Joseph, last week, requesting help to fly his family out of T&T. Mark said he met Manning at his constituency office last Thursday and Manning arranged a meeting for him with Joseph.
“Mr Joseph told me that it made no sense for me to speak to him and he referred the matter to Brigadier General (Peter) Joseph,” he said.
“I told Brigadier Joseph that I want to be shipped out because I do not trust the witness protection, but nobody has helped me.”
I will be glad to know that
I will be glad to know that they are safe!

Jarvis Mark and his family
Jarvis Mark and his family are between a rock and a very hard place as a result of being a key witness in a case where a policeman is charged for allegedly renting out his service revolver to criminals. They will no longer be safe residing in "Sweet T&T" and even if Jarvis succeeds in giving evidence in the court , he must leave his homeland forever .
The twin culture of corruption & crime is doing very well in "Sweet T&T" .

According to this article
According to this article Jarvis Mark claims that he requested help directly from Prime Minister Patrick Manning, National Security Minister Martin Joseph and Brigadier General (Peter) Joseph, and hasn't received any.
I wonder what's their point of view on this incident?
