Ka­ia Sealy says she is “shocked and deeply dis­tressed” by re­ports that she is fac­ing crim­i­nal charges in con­nec­tion with the fa­tal shoot­ing of her part­ner, Joshua Sama­roo, in­sist­ing she re­mains in­no­cent and has been wrong­ly por­trayed.

ANSA Mer­chant Bank Ltd (AM­BL) has re­port­ed a strong fi­nan­cial per­for­mance for the past fis­cal year, dri­ven by growth in its loan port­fo­lio and non-in­ter­est in­come, ac­cord­ing to man­ag­ing di­rec­tor Stephen Grell.

By any mea­sure, 20 years is a long time, but in the world of elite sport, it can amount to an over­lap of gen­er­a­tions. Take, for in­stance, the Trinidad and To­ba­go Red Force team’s as­cen­sion to re­gion­al four-day crick­et cham­pi­ons for the first time in two decades, which fea­tured on­ly two play­ers who were 15 years old or old­er in 2006, when the team last won the tour­na­ment. Evin Lewis was 15 at the time, and Ja­son Mo­hammed was 20. In­ci­den­tal­ly, Mo­hammed de­buted in that 2006 team, which al­so con­tained cur­rent head coach Rayad Em­rit. Iron­i­cal­ly, both Mo­hammed and Lewis chose to re­tire from first-class crick­et at the end of this sea­son fol­low­ing vic­to­ry over the Guyana Harpy Ea­gles in the 2026 West In­dies Cham­pi­onship fi­nal at the Sir Vi­vian Richards Sta­di­um, An­tigua, on Wednes­day.

The hid­den truth of our lives is of­ten framed as a de­c­la­ra­tion to leave the past in the past, but this was not the case for An­cil Rooplal, a Vi­su­al Arts Sec­ondary School art teacher who used the can­vas to un­earth his past.

The lat­est twist in the Joshua Sama­roo case has once again forced this coun­try in­to a fa­mil­iar de­bate: when dead­ly en­coun­ters oc­cur be­tween po­lice of­fi­cers and civil­ians, where does the truth re­side?
