The Law Association of Trinidad and Tobago expresses deep concern over the increase in the rate of murders in Trinidad and Tobago, the most recent being the killing of Mr. Richard Wheeler and his wife Mrs. Grace Wheeler in Tobago. Mr. Wheeler was a distinguished member of the legal profession.
The Association condemns this vicious attack and calls for an immediate and thorough investigation into the double murder and calls upon the public to assist the police in providing the necessary information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
The Association expresses its condolences to the family of Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler for this tragic loss and urges the police to do all within its powers to bring the perpetrators before the Courts where justice shall be served.
