Five days after she was reunited with relatives, kidnapped doubles vendor Anisha Hosein-Singh was said to be “doing fine”.
Yesterday, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Intelligence and Investigations Suzette Martin gave an update on the ongoing investigation. She said there were “no further leads” into the probe up to yesterday.
The four suspects killed by police in an exchange of gunfire during the probe into the kidnapping on May 23 in St Augustine, have been identified as Akeem Punnette, Christopher Noriega, Tevon Maynard and Joshua Allen-Job.
The autopsies on the four were conducted at the Forensic Science Centre, St James, yesterday, but relatives for all refused to speak with reporters when approached.
Hosein-Singh, 27, was grabbed by armed men around 5.50 am on May 18 at Eastern Main Road, El Dorado, as she and her husband Richie Singh and other workers were setting up the Sauce and Sons Doubles stall to begin Saturday morning sales.
The mother of one remained in the hands of her kidnappers for five days before she was released in near the Caroni Cremation Site around 10 pm on May 22.
While it has not been confirmed by the T&T Police Service (TTPS) or Hosein-Singh’s family to date, it is believed that a multi-million dollar ransom was paid for her safe return.
Singh’s husband was shot in the face by the kidnappers as he attempted to save her.
