10 years after Dana Seetahal’s murder …
(Trinidad Guardian) Ten years after the murder of Dana Seetahal, SC, Direc-tor of Public Prosecutions Roger Gaspard says his office is still awaiting documents from the Judiciary needed for the case to be set for trial.
In the interim, the slain senior counsel’s family, friends and colleagues believe the long wait for justice is a betrayal of her legacy.
But DPP Gaspard on Friday told Guardian Media that he cannot proceed with the matter until the Judiciary sends the completed committal proceedings from the preliminary inquiry to his office.
Responding to questions for an update on the case, Gaspard said, “I cannot prepare and file the indictment until those documents are sent to my office. This isn’t a matter of choice. It is what the law requires.”
