00:00Our understanding is that part of that you know is is the drug trade and the
00:06target was one individual but you recognize how many others were impacted
00:11although the target was one in the individual and then that came from that
00:18all seemed to be related to the murder of a young lady or the death of a young
00:24lady we saw the body at Mount St. George yes and it will appear at this point as
00:29if the two incidents are related. Chief Secretary Farley Agustin during an
00:34interview with the media on Monday murdered taxi driver Sheldon Walters
00:39Joseph's car was recovered by police in Dullaford Tobago near the home of a
00:44controversial dancehall artiste who lives in Trinidad. Mrs. Walters Joseph's
00:50taxi was hired by two men who later robbed and murdered her. Her body was
00:56thrown over a precipice in Mount St. George. Meantime Chief Secretary Farley
01:01Agustin said talks have since been had with members of the Spaceside Village
01:07Council following last Friday's drive-by shooting. The police already have leads
01:13and have acted on those leads right where about three or so young men are deemed to be
01:19the perpetrators and and that's that's being settled thankfully no one died.
01:25Last Saturday's murder in Tobago was the seventh for the year.
01:29Agustin said the present crime surge is unacceptable. It is always unacceptable
01:36for me and every single murder we have on the island I think is one too much
01:41and it's a fight that we have a fight to retain our society as it were and to
01:50keep out the negative influences the negative vices the negative social
01:55actions and negative social behaviors so it's a constant fight and we can't let
02:00up because the criminals are not letting up. The Chief Secretary praised the
02:04community of Spaceside for assisting police in their investigation into last
02:09Friday's drive-by shooting by standing against the criminal elements. The police
02:15as I said they are following the leads that they have the leads that the
02:19community is coming forward with and I must thank the community of Spaceside
02:24for not just staying quiet but actually stepping forward and providing the
02:29necessary evidence and information to the police and providing the leads for
02:35the police to follow. Elizabeth Williams TV6 News
