One carjacker caught

Trinidad police are investigating a horrific shooting incident that has left one woman dead and a carjacker in custody.
According to a Trinidad police report, one of the carjackers who shot and killed Camille Daniel-Notingham of River Estate in Diego Martin yesterday afternoon, on the compound of the West End Police Station was captured, while trying to escape the scene of the crime.
The victim was the wife of a soldier, according to Trinidad Acting Police Commissioner James Philbert.
Daniel-Notingham was seated in the car with a friend on Factory Road, not far from the police station, when three men entered; one stuck a gun to the back of the victim and ordered her to drive to Wendy Fitzwillam Boulevard.
On entering the boulevard, Camille drove into the police station honking the vehicle’s horn.
However the gunman shot her in the back. Two of them managed to escape by scaling a wall around the station.
Acting Police Commissioner, James Philbert, said that the police are now hunting the other suspects, on whom they already have information.
Trinidad Acting Police Commissioner James Philbert dubbing the latest killing in the twin Island republic as “a very horrific thing” said the lady was shot at the compound of the police station in an attempt to get help from the police.
He told reporters that one man has been held while another is being pursued and police believe that he will be captured shortly as they have much information on him.
Mr. Philbert said shootings in the past few days have caused the service to rethink its strategy, and has since placed more manpower in the streets.
He said, too, that the force is very concerned about shootings that occurred over the past few days where members of the public have become targets without any justification.
He said the shootings are occurring without the victims being a threat or interference in the gunmen’s lives.
The acting police chief said too that efforts will be made to apprehend the criminals and bring them to justice swiftly and to remove the illegal firearms from the streets.
