The Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) is con­firm­ing that five per­sons have been charged with the mur­der of Aleivon Nurse, alias "Crime Boss", which oc­curred at Prov­i­dence Road, Les Coteaux, To­ba­go, on Fri­day Ju­ly 3rd, 2020.

And ac­cord­ing to the TTPS re­lease on the mat­ter, the charges against the five mean that all eight mur­ders in To­ba­go for 2020, have been solved.

Deputy Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice (Ag), 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.

"That was out­stand­ing work from the of­fi­cers of all the sec­tions in­volved and I com­mend them tremen­dous­ly. It was a great team ef­fort," he stat­ed in a TTPS re­lease.

The TTPS re­ports that the Homi­cide Bu­reau of In­ves­ti­ga­tions (HBI) con­duct­ed an in­ves­tiga­tive op­er­a­tion called "Rolling Waves" in the To­ba­go Di­vi­sion.

It in­volved a probe in­to the death of Aleivon Nurse alias ‘ Crime Boss’ of Franklyn Road, Les Coteaux, who was shot and killed on Fri­day 3rd Ju­ly 2020. On Sat­ur­day 22nd Au­gust 2020, the Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions (DPP), Roger Gas­pard SC, ad­vised that the fol­low­ing per­sons be charged for the 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 Joel Duke, of Cocrico Av­enue, Buc­coo, To­ba­go.

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

To­ba­go po­lice al­so con­tin­ued their probe 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 17th Ju­ly 2020.

On Au­gust 20, DPP Roger Gas­pard ad­vised that 18-year-old Al­liyah Far­rell of Coira Road, Siparia, be joint­ly charged with 20-year-old An­to­nio Mar­celle (aka "AJ") of Eg­bo Gul­ly, Les Couteaux, To­ba­go, for the of­fence of mur­der in El­lena Di­al’s case. Mar­celle was pre­vi­ous­ly charged on 17th Au­gust 2020.

Op­er­a­tion “Rolling Waves” 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 TTPS strate­gic in­ter­nal and ex­ter­nal part­ners.
