Five peo­ple have been charged with the mur­der of Aleivon Nurse, alias “Crime Boss” which oc­curred at Prov­i­dence Road, Les Coteaux, To­ba­go, on Ju­ly 3, 2020.

The charges against the five mean that all eight mur­ders in To­ba­go for 2020, have been solved, a state­ment from the Po­lice Ser­vice has said.

The Homi­cide Bu­reau of In­ves­ti­ga­tions (HBI) con­duct­ed an in­ves­tiga­tive op­er­a­tion called, “Rolling Waves” in the To­ba­go Di­vi­sion.

This in­ves­tiga­tive op­er­a­tion was done in col­lab­o­ra­tion with the To­ba­go Di­vi­sion, Cen­tral In­tel­li­gence Bu­reau, Spe­cial In­ves­ti­ga­tions Unit, RAU, CSMU, Fi­nance Branch, T&T Air Guard, with field op­er­a­tions by the Spe­cial Op­er­a­tions Re­sponse Team (SORT), and oth­er strate­gic in­ter­nal and ex­ter­nal part­ners.

This op­er­a­tion in­volved the in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­to the death of Aleivon Nurse alias “Crime Boss” of Franklyn Road, Les Coteaux, who was shot dead on Ju­ly3, 2020.

The Po­lice held dis­cus­sions with Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions (DPP) Roger Gas­pard SC, on Sat­ur­day and he ad­vised that the fol­low­ing peo­ple be charged with mur­der:

1. De­von Turpin, alias “Pa­pers”, of Up­per Mendez Dri­ve Ex­ten­sión, Champ Fleurs.

2. Kurt East­man, alias “Blac­ka”, of Bel­mont Road, Ma­son Hall, To­ba­go.

3. Tre­ston Reno, alias “Yan­kee”, of Char­ford Court, Port-of-Spain;

4. Uri Fletch­er, of Cardiff Road, Pem­broke To­ba­go;

5. J’on Jodel Duke, of Cocrico Av­enue, Buc­coo, To­ba­go.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions were al­so con­duct­ed in­to the death of Dwight Turpin which oc­curred June 24, 2020. In­ves­ti­ga­tions re­vealed that Aleivon Nurse and Ken­ny Wolfe, now de­ceased, were re­spon­si­ble for com­mit­ing that mur­der.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions con­tin­ued in­to the death of 19-year-old El­lena Di­al, of Rise­land Trace, Carn­bee, To­ba­go, who was stabbed and burnt at Kil­gwyn Beach, Canaan, To­ba­go, and who suc­cumbed to her in­juries on Ju­ly 17, 2020.

An au­di­ence was held last Thurs­day with Gas­pard who ad­vised that Al­liyah Far­rell, 18, of Coira Road, Siparia, be joint­ly charged with An­to­nio Mar­celle, aka “AJ”, 20, of Eg­bo Gul­ly, Les Couteaux, To­ba­go, for the of­fence of mur­der.

Mar­celle was pre­vi­ous­ly charged on Au­gust 17, 2020.

Act­ing Deputy Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Mc Don­ald Ja­cob said the de­ci­sion to charge the five men with mur­der was as a re­sult of painstak­ing and metic­u­lous in­ves­ti­ga­tions by var­i­ous sec­tions of the TTPS.

He said: “That was out­stand­ing work from the of­fi­cers of all the sec­tions in­volved and I com­mend them tremen­dous­ly. It was a great team ef­fort.
