Dana Seetahal’s relatives feel murder case running cold

(Trinidad Express) Relatives of Dana Seetahal SC say they are starved for information from the police about the investigation into her murder, uncertain of whether any headway is being made, and fearful her killers will go free.

It has been more than eight months since the special State prosecutor was ambushed and assassinated on May 4 while driving along Hamilton Holder Street in Woodbrook just after midnight. Her family believes they are no closer to knowing who killed Seetahal, or why.

“We are just as lost as the rest of the population,” lamented Susan Francois, Seetahal’s younger sister, during an in-depth interview with the Express. Francois is also the director of the Financial Intelligence Unit.

Her elder brother, Kenrick Seetahal, echoed her frustration: “We cannot even conceive that Dana’s murder will be solved, it leaves us in limbo. The police have not contacted us, the lead investigators have not contacted us. We on our own.”
