00:00 Three gunmen came in, ambushed him. He was lying on the ground really and three gunmen
00:06 came and one threw himself on him and you know they started choking him, beating him,
00:11 asking him for the money.
00:13 The ordeal of one businesswoman who remains traumatized following the incident at her
00:18 home, which occurred shortly after 2am on Monday. The businesswoman, who wished not
00:23 to be named and was home with her husband at the time of the incident, later learned
00:30 that her son repeatedly called out for help.
00:34 After when they see that he's calling me, they take something and stuff it in his mouth
00:38 and the time, well before they leave they tie him up and they're asking him, "Your
00:43 mother have money?"
00:45 The masked gunmen left the house the same way they came, through the back door of the
00:51 house which was left open. The police were later called to the scene and investigations
00:56 are continuing into the matter.
00:59 The permit said kill him and right now I'm very traumatized. I'm feeling it for him
01:03 to know that we are in the same house and I was helpless. I couldn't hear nothing.
01:07 But I know God was in the midst of this because I'm a person who gets up every morning during
01:13 the morning time and check on my son. And this morning I was helpless and this is what
01:18 God had me told, "You're a murderer. You could have killed my son."
01:21 The businesswoman told TV6 News this is the second time there has been a robbery at her
01:28 home. She is today calling for more patrols in the community.
01:33 I feel the crime situation in Tobago is getting like Trinidad and the police need to do more
01:40 patrols around those hours. Right? And I think the youth and them, it has things out there
01:47 for them to do. They need to go and apply themselves.
01:50 Tobago police are continuing investigations. Elizabeth Williams, TV6 News.
