8-)

[serenity]

Macco,
I too had hoped it was over. I annot begin to imagine the trauma families of kidnap victims have to endure, not to mention the victims themselves. It really is beyond me that in this small country nobody could come out and say something. Ah wonder if the blimp cant help.

[Mivo]

Oh my sorry to hear that eh and to think I just met some folks from pond street this summer

[deathwinger]

You hoped it was over? Why? Cause for elections the criminals were asked to ease off so they could go on another 5 year spree?

Please, if you did not see this coming you are as short sighted as a C*P supporter.

[brag]

How much does it take to put out an SOS and cordon off every inch of T&T in five and ten miles blocks for emergency searches? How hard it that to do? Is our government made up of just a bunch of jokers? Well, people are just not laughing.

It takes a Minister of National Security who thinks crime is a problem...smarty pants Martin Joseph still doesn't get it.

why aren't you all celebrating, ah mean the crime is going up right? You know the sad part about the people who supported the DLP and all it's subsequent offsprings is they only get concern when someone from their clan is harmed, otherwise they does be cheering the carnage as though it's a friking football game, just so they could talk about what the government isn't doing. SHAME ON THEM

[Solachica]

I think they found her in enterprise around 7am tonite.

[Scorpio]

That's good news, Sola, although I think you mean 7pm.... ;)

[Solachica]

Oh shuck yes scorps :)

[Sumana]

In other news....I feel they thought it was the wrong Sammy

[Solachica]

Sumana u sounding word for word of wht I heard panday say in news this evening.

[Sumana]

I ain't even watch news. But great minds think a like. Search my posts, I've been saying it all along - you get what you vote for. They shouldn't sit down there with any clear conscience when we told them the consequences and they refused to put country first instead of their hate for one man.


What happened

* Gunmen storm house
* Took away Josanne Sammy
* Ransom of $200,000 demanded

BY RADHICA SOOKRAJ

Kidnapping victim Josanne Sammy escaped from her abductors last night, almost 17 hours after she was reportedly snatched from her home in La Romaine.

Members of the Anti-Kidnapping Squad reportedly found her at about 7 pm on Ragoonanan Road, Enterprise, Chaguanas.

Police said no ransom was paid.

Sammy, 23, of Pond Trace, La Romaine, is the common-law wife of used-car dealer Riyad Baksh, who owns R&H Baksh Transport.

The kidnappers had demanded a $200,000 ransom for her safe release.

The police were were up to late last night probing the circumstances under which she was taken from her home around 2 am.

In an interview yesterday—before Sammy was found—Baksh said the kidnappers called the family three times. He had also accused the police of not doing enough.

He claimed the police failed to trace the calls or track the suspects.

Sammy and Baksh have been living together the past five years. They have no children.

Baksh said officers questioned him (before his wife was found) for hours at San Fernando Police Headquarters.

Anti-kidnapping Squad officers were not present at the family’s home when the Guardian visited at 9 am.

Recalling the incident, Baksh said he was asleep with Sammy when he heard a strange sound outside their home. He thought it was caused by thieves.

He said he switched on the lights and began making a racket inside in an attempt to ward off any intruders.

He said, “The dogs started to bark and I took a torch and opened the door to go downstairs.”

He said as he reached the staircase, a gunman accosted him.

“He told me to get back inside,” Baksh said.

Baksh said the gunmen tied him up with duct tape and ransacked the house for valuables.

Then they dragged Sammy from her bed and also tied her up with duct tape.

Baksh said the men dragged Sammy to another room.

“I could hear her screaming but I could not do anything ,” Baksh said.

He said the men stayed about 20 minutes in the house.

Baksh said the men stole $4,000 worth of jewelry and $6,000.

They then put Sammy into Baksh’s Nissan Almera and drove off with her.

Baksh said he managed to free himself shortly afterwards.

Baksh’s father Haniff said that around 5 am, he received a call from a man saying he wanted a $200,000 ransom.

The elder Baksh said the man warned him not to alert the police or the media.

Haniff said about half an hour later, he received a second call.

Sammy, he said, was allowed to speak with him.

He said she begged him to pay the ransom.

He said his daughter-in-law told him to withdraw $30,000 which she held in a joint account with her common-law husband.

Haniff said his family was unable to raise $200,000 and had only started their used-car business about three years ago.

[Sumana]

In the mean while, the girl kidnapped from Chaguanas was found raped and killed and discarded so long that vultures started to eat her head :cry:

[vaio]

^^^ :shock: :shock: :shock:

[Sumana]

15 years old

[vaio]

^^^OMG...sad.... :(

[trinisuckz]

vaio- this is the criminal element im talking about! kidnapping and raping a 15 year old young girl!

and you think the people who are responsibe for this should be treated like humans and with respect???

They should not be allowed to remain in society!

[vaio]

but TS, i thought we agreed on that point on another thread and we also agreed with the death penalty or did you have a change of heart and want to boil them in OIL again!!!????

[trinisuckz]

ok- forget the oil- just take them to the nearest Tree, tie a noose and busss their necks!
dont even bury them- they dont deserve it!

PROVIDED that you have the correct Guilty rapist/s ?

[vaio]

Gosh i was reading about the killling of that 15 yr old and it is soooo sad that the police refused to help the family when they first reported her missing....they are saying that the police said she ran away with some man....now that she is dead...i wonder what some of those officers think now...

there is some 24hr period before the police start looking for a missing person..my question is - why think abt saving your resources compared to saving a life....

[Scorpio]

People with radical views on vigilantism are only distracting attention from the real problem of crime. If TriniSuckz was serious about boiling people in oil, he would not be on ttol talking about it. He would be out there with or without a custume and cape :roll: taking on the criminals head on.

anyone is this country that trys to help the crime suitation and speaks about the govt inability and ignorance in dealing with this matter ends up beign an Enemy of the Govt- " INSHAN the second"

The last person who did trinidad a favor is now viewed by some as an Extremist! aka the Proud businessman who put a stop to this stupid road rage sheit! Well done Glencoe Businessman! One less arsehool to deal with !

[KFCSpicy]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^har har haaaaaaaaar. Nah then he go have to give credence to his beliefs. And we all know that is cowards does do the most ranting and raving.

But in the case of the lil girl. How many years of missing kids we have in Trinidad? Why is only now it's such an issue with folks? Please you are all insulting the memories of the kids snatched killed and never found by this late display of sympathy over one more victim.

Wounded dog syndrome again. Where are the mothers advocating that police do their jobs and that laws be changed? I eh see nor hearing of any groups like that. yuh think ooohing and aaahing over a dead girl is gonna make things right? :roll:

[Scorpio]

One less arsehool to deal with !


...and you are one too many arsehool to deal with....no wait, you can't be one arsehool, you must be a twin bec too much ***** coming from you to be just one. :x

[KFCSpicy]

lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Ah deding here wid dat...

I just read the Express. The police station was undermanned and far away also the parents did the best the could have done with the disappearance of their child they got up and posted pics and missing posters and begged newspapers for help. Now these same newspapers using the girls death to sell and make money.

I feel for this family after all the efforts, the child lying just mere miles from the house. Police and Newspapers have belly dread. How dem does sleep in de night? Or are they too desensitised to death now?

[vaio]

^^gosh to think of what that child must have gone through before she died... :x

[KFCSpicy]

Girl i cyah get thru my day if i did think about it. Damn...it really really hurting to read that and I am speaking as a woman. Cause we women are the natural victims for men and it could be anyone of we or we friends or a family member. Remember this animal eh get ketch yet eh.

:cry:

[vaio]

^^i think that are questionning a 41 yr man from the area in which she lived... :|

[KFCSpicy]

They need a profiler. Cause is only a loner who have issues would do something of this particular nature. Sigh! I feel he is some loser living by heself and have feelings of inferiority and does lime in de West cause where else would he get such ambivalent feelings? Also de use of rape is not just lust as we women know.

I want to see a pic of him. :shock:

[vaio]

^once he has been charged we will get to see his face...

[KFCSpicy]

then we cud let trinisuckz loose on him. Lmao! poor man eh go know what hit him. :lol:

[vaio]

^^^ :lol: :lol: ...the man will be boiled on OIL!!! :twisted:

[KFCSpicy]

lmaooooooooooooooooooooooo^^^^ :lol:

[trinisuckz]

NO- you should roll him in a batter before boiling him :x

[KFCSpicy]

lmaooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yuh tail cuddnah resist that last one eh Trini? Even tho u annoying as hell I sure u is a likeable man in person. Sigh pity u not displaying that on here. Cause we all feel yuh frustration suckeetrini, believe me u. 8-)

[vaio]

^^TS......you need help man/woman???

[trinisuckz]

no- dont need any help- just need an effective Zero tolerance police force and a serious govt that atually cares about the country and not just sucking it dry as they steal.

[KFCSpicy]

^^^so u admitting that is all the government so far does teef? And doh sho no concern for the citizens?

[vaio]

^^don't we all want the same thing.... :ugeek:

[KFCSpicy]

well i did thought so but I guess is the method in which some of us are willing to go about getting results is the gist of the problem> :?

[vaio]

^^yea...a tad bit too extreme...

[trinisuckz]

KFC spicy- as long as those OLD heads remain in govt there will be theft!
What trinidad needed was a New party with a proper vision, a govt that Genuinely cares about Trinidad and its citizens, and not just the same OLD heads that interested in POWER , CONTROL and MONEY!

COP tried to make a difference, but when time came to put finger to vote, many people went back to their ROOTS and race as usual!

At the end of all of my rants and frustration we probably all want the same thing- a good bath! :lol: kidding,
we all want the Trinidad that we knew 15 years or so ago, where you could take a hike or drive and appreciae all that trinidad has to offer in Safety. Go and stay in MAnzanilla , mayaro, Toco, and not have to worry about bandits and rapists.

:cry:

[KFCSpicy]

Is it me or did Trinisuckz just make a whole lotta sense wid he last post dey? :o

Well hun I totally agree with u on all fronts. My one thing is tho that COP was not really new was it? They had old heads jumping into bed with them and jumping right back out too. If some fresh young dedicated group of individuals sell themselves well to the public only few people will backslide to de devils they know. Plus politicking is a life long thing COP should not give up. Fail this year but learn from it and move on and make sure u always always have the best interest of the nation at heart and new ideas on how to deal with old problems.

[vaio]

^^^Ditto to that...oh btw....i am surprised that i agree with Trinisuckz on something at least!!

[trinisuckz]

Well with UNC its a MAd power hungry man in charge, with the PNM its a moron who has a supposed vision for this country, but will end up polluting it , destroying all of our wildlife and driving it into a Jamaica.
COP wanted a chance to change!
I do not consider Trinidad a democracy any longer for if you look at the last few years, this govt , or Individual as the case maybe- does what HE wants and does what HE thinks is best .
He does not think or listen to the PEOPLE of this nation, How many must speak up about the smelters, the Iron plants, the Wast of Useless Buildings, Stadii and the relocation of So many people without proper consultation ?

We are a partial Dictatorship- we are no longer a democracy!

[KFCSpicy]

^^^Yuh on a roll...cause ah agree with u again. Nah man is either yuh high or yuh come down from one.

So what do u propse we do Trini? Cause at the end of the day is we creating these devils by being inactive and silent about a lot of things. Demand transparency. picket them, not just for money but for every guddang thing. Get full page ads in the newspapers. Actually start caring and stop sectionalising maybe just maybe support from all quarters will come.

[trinisuckz]

Well i know that Inshan can be a bit on the more dramatic side, but his thoughts and the collaborative thoughts of many other Communities around trinidad when they had planned a few days of SHUTWODN for trinidad was right up there with what we need to do.

We need to get together as a people and SAY enough is enough!
The problem with shutting down Trinidad is that we are the ones who sacrafice , we wil have to settle for NO electricity, No water, Na cabletv, No grocery open for a few days. It does not affect the govt.
They are not even affected by Traffic as their outriders practically run you off the road!

What is needed is a joint shutdown when there is an international COnference here- wouldnt it be somethign if after all delegates were flown here that the hotels lost power, the Airport shut down and Trinidad's govt be embarassed on a Global scale???

Other wise the govt could not care about who strikes and who shuts down and who protests!- they continue on with daily as usual!

[Sumana]

Well i know that Inshan can be a bit on the more dramatic side, but his thoughts and the collaborative thoughts of many other Communities around trinidad when they had planned a few days of SHUTWODN for trinidad was right up there with what we need to do.




But in the same breath, he sending out threats for people and their family "I will do something to x and his family"

Big friggen hypocrite, Inshan should shut up until he's ready to act as he says people should act.

[snowbird]

We told you this would happen, we gave you the facts, we told you what to do, you really get what you vote for.
In other news....I feel they thought it was the wrong Sammy

Sumana if you are going to state the position the UNCA would have taken to stop this particular kidnapping from happening feel free to share the solutions they were going to run with; standing on the backs of victims for the next five years with an "I told you so statement" (like your Leader was promising to do) is very unbecoming.

My position is that since during the election and just prior to (during Carnival and again during the World Cup of Cricket) kidnappings and other crimes seems to have lessened save for the gang wars and their subsequent victims, shouldn't the people of T&T be focusing their rage in that direction? the fact that these waves can be turned on and turned off means someone is calling the shots, it means crime can be controlled; shouldn't you be demanding the Minister of Security focus on that aspect among others.

Also, if your Government is generous enough to put out extra security at special times (when Tourist are in town, or when some foreign dignatary is in T&T), shouldn't you as a citizen be demanding that you be afforded the same 'privaledges' as visitors? Who pays taxes in T&T your or them? And while you are about it, offer tangible solutions for improving your particular area instead of trying to take on the whole country; right now it seems like the criminals have more victims than they realize.... look at how they have some of you pitted against one another instead of against them. :roll:
