“I know that no matter what anyone may say, words can never heal the wound that has been ripped open. The killing of these innocent children yesterday strikes at the very heart of our nation.”
“To all the family members, may you all find peace and strength during this difficult time and please know that the love and support of Trinidad and Tobago is with you,” Persad-Bissessar.
