FOUR suspects were fatally shot by police on Thursday morning in a forested area near St John’s Road, St Augustine, following the release of Anisha Hosein-Singh, daughter of the owner of a Sauce Doubles franchise.
Hosein-Singh had been abducted on Saturday.
In a briefing held earlier today, Deputy Commissioner of Police Suzette Martin said that an inter-agency team was assembled and an investigation launched after news of the abduction broke on Saturday.
On Wednesday, passersby discovered Anisha Hosein-Singh near the Caroni Cremation Site. She was taken to the St Joseph Police Station where she received medical attention. Deputy Commissioner Martin confirmed that Hosein-Singh is “doing fine.”
Officers were led to a forested area off upper St Michael’s Road, St John’s Road, St Augustine, around 9.45 am on Thursday. There, a shootout ensued, resulting in the deaths of the four suspects.
The kidnapping occurred on Saturday, when Hosein-Singh and her husband were setting up their business. Armed men attacked, forcibly taking Hosein-Singh and driving off. Her husband attempted to intervene and was shot in the face during the altercation.
