TTT’s October 28 report updates the Laventille investigation. Police say six people were questioned, some released, while enquiries continue.
Police say six people have been questioned in the investigation into the TSTT cable yard fire in Laventille, according to TTT’s October 28 report of the police media briefing. Some have since been released, while others remained in custody pending enquiries.
ASP Ashley Mungroo said information gathered had not yet reached the threshold needed to pursue charges. The description of questioning must therefore remain separate from a finding of guilt or an announcement that anyone has been charged.
The report gives a preliminary damage estimate of $20 million and describes suspected arson. Both the valuation and cause remain attributed to the ongoing investigation. Police also sought information from the public.
This updates the earlier report of three people held. It does not establish that those earlier and later groups are identical or that all six remain detained. The accompanying cable photograph was taken in France and illustrates the equipment involved, not the damaged TSTT compound.
