Pictured Above: Dennis Ramlal, 80.
The body of an elderly man was found at his home in Barrackpore on Monday morning (22nd April, 2024). The deceased has been identified as 80-year-old Dennis Ramlal, a retired teacher. He was found tied up with multiple stab wounds.
According to reports, after Ramlal failed to answer his cellphone, his brother went to his home at Mohess Road, Barrackpore, around 9:00 AM on Monday morning. Upon arrival, his brother saw blood on the floor through an open window. Ramal's body was subsequently found partially under a bed and covered with a sheet. His brother told Police he tried calling Ramlal on his cellphone on Sunday (21st April, 2024), but received no answer and so he decided to check on him on Monday morning.
When Police arrived on the scene, they found the body covered in blood and turned to the left side, with the hands and feet bound with brown tape. There were stab wounds to the chest area. Ramal's gold chain and ring were still on his body, but the bedroom was said to be ransacked.
Ramal's Hyundai Tucson SUV also appeared to have been searched, but the vehicle was not stolen. The house is situated on the same compound with other properties occupied by the landlord and other tenants. Police said Ramlal was last seen by the landlord on Saturday (20th April, 2024). Residents estimated that Ramal had been renting the property for seven (7) or eight (8) years.
Investigators are trying to determine a motive for his brutal murder.

The Environmental Management Authority (EMA) is advising the public that the current air quality level has registered UNHEALTHY on the Air Quality Index (AQI) at the EMA's Monitoring Stations in Toco and Port-of-Spain at 11:00 AM this morning (Monday 22nd April, 2024).
The increase in Particulate Matter (PM) is attributed to Saharan dust and the levels range between 151 - 153. According to the EMA, “Everyone, in particular, sensitive groups including older adults, children and individuals with heart or lung disease, respiratory ailments and allergies are strongly advised to avoid prolonged or heavy exertion.” The AQI levels at the Monitoring Stations at Scarborough, Point Lisas, Mayaro, San Fernando and Arima range between 117 to 143, representing air quality that is UNHEALTHY for SENSITIVE GROUPS. Members of the public are advised to visit the EMA's website and social media pages for daily updates on air quality in Trinidad and Tobago. Real-time updates on air quality can also be accessed via this link: https://ei.weblakes.com/RTTPublic/DshBrdAQI.
About the AQI
The EMA, through the National Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Network has been obtaining accurate, real-time assessment of ambient air quality at strategic points nationally. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a number used by Government agencies to communicate to the public how polluted the air currently is, or how polluted it is forecast to become. As the AQI rises, an increasingly large percentage of the population is likely to experience severe adverse health effects. There are currently seven (7) Ambient Air Quality Monitoring stations in Trinidad and Tobago. Six (6) are located in Trinidad (Toco, Mayaro, Arima, Port-of-Spain, Point Lisas and San Fernando) and the seventh station is located at Signal Hill, Tobago. Please be guided accordingly.
Two (2) men were rescued by five (5) teens who are being hailed as heroes, after their car crashed off the Lady Young Road in Morvant on Sunday afternoon (21st April, 2024).
According to reports, the heroic teens, identified as Kabir Bernard, Jelani Rosseau, Tishaan Charles, Tyrique Barrow, and Joel Frank were working and hanging out at their car wash on Crystal Drive, Lady Young Road, around 12:45 PM, when they heard a loud bang and what they thought were children's screams.
Bernard, 15, who attends Diego Martin Secondary School, said the group rushed to the sound and found the men inside the overturned car, trapped in a drain. “We just ran out, all we knew somebody sounded like they were in trouble and we knew we had to do something quick because the car looked like it would flip again,” Bernard said while speaking to Newsday.
One teen ran back to the car wash for a rope, which they used to tie to the car. Once the rope was tied, they tried to pull the car over to prevent it from moving and injuring its occupants further. However, upon realizing their efforts would not work, another teen flagged down a passing van. The driver of the van stopped and the teens tied the rope to his van. He then reversed, helping the group secure the vehicle and pull the men out.
“One of the men's hands was crushed, there was a big cut on the other guy's knee, and his foot looked like it was also broken. We are just happy nobody died; they looked like they were in stable condition,” Bernard said.
Frank said one occupant was unconscious when they pulled him out of the wreckage and the other began to lose consciousness. The group said it took about fifteen (15) minutes for the Ambulance to arrive and about twenty (20) minutes for the Police. They were told the injured men were from the Belmont area. Charles said, “It was a real tragic scene; there wasn't really much if any, blood, so I feel they have internal damage.” CCTV footage of the accident shows the white car speeding along the roadway and then losing control before hitting a metal guard rail and crashing into a drain.
A resident who witnessed the accident, was sitting at the back of her house, which faces Lady Young Road. “I saw this white car speeding down the road and I said to myself, I hope that driver doesn’t hit anyone. In less than thirty (30) seconds, I hear this loud crash and I know it was the same car. My heart dropped,” she said.
Investigations are continuing. More on this as it becomes available.
