00:00Senior police officers told TV6 News there would be no charge laid in the jet ski matter until an autopsy
00:07is performed on the body of a seven-year-old Angelica Jogi.
00:11Arrangements are being made for a forensic pathologist to travel to Tobago to conduct the process.
00:17In addition, Assistant Commissioner of Police Rishi Singh told TV6 News he intends to meet with Chief Secretary Fali Augustin
00:26soon, following his calls on Thursday for the Crank Point Police to enforce the regulations in place, especially with the
00:34station's close proximity to the Pigeon Point Heritage Park and the Storbe Beach facility.
00:40I will definitely reach out to the Chief Secretary. We will have a meeting, and based on the issues that
00:51he's raised, we will work on joint solutions.
00:54On Friday, the Pigeon Point Heritage Park reopened to thousands of visitors.
00:59There is this sign at the Pigeon Point jetty established years ago, stating the use of jet skis within the
01:06marine park is strictly prohibited.
01:09Non-compliance is a breach of law pursuant to the marine areas.
01:14Preservation and Enhancement Act, Chapter 3702 of Trinidad and Tobago.
01:20Bathers were also advised to use the demarcated areas within the ropes.
01:25Some visitors at Pigeon Point spoke with TV6 News and expressed their concerns following the fatal jet ski incident involving
01:35seven-year-old Angelica Jogi on Wednesday.
01:38Tobago police were also observed patrolling the area.
01:42It was horrific, and it was an accident that could have been completely avoided, given regulations and people's own professionalism.
01:51It should, the jet skis should definitely be banned. If you can't maintain how people use them, then you need
01:58to ban all.
01:59I would say it's very tragic, and it's very sad.
02:06So, they have to be a little more careful when they are out there.
02:13And there's a rope barrier there, as you see.
02:16Yes.
02:16So, do you think there should be a ban on jet skis?
02:22I wouldn't say a ban, but they have to be a little more careful and do the things that they
02:29should do.
02:31They come through here too fast. They need to, if they're going fast, they just need to be somewhere further
02:36out from shore.
02:37On Thursday, Salisha Jogi, the mother of the late seven-year-old Angelica Jogi, called for a ban of jet
02:46skis in Tobago.
02:47She called for justice in the tragic death of her daughter.
02:51Elizabeth Williams, TV6 News.
02:53Thanks.
