1,304 murdered in TT since Jan. 1,2005

Read the editorial in the Trinidad Express: Manning must act

Vital statistics:
January 1, 2008 - May 05, 2008 - 161 murders
January 1, 2005 - May 04, 2008 - 1,304 murders
Detection since January 1, 2005 - 269
Unsolved murders: 1035

Minister of National Security: Martin Joseph.
"We did not fail. Some of the measures we undertook didn't work."

Prime Minister Patrick Manning:
"It's not easy to solve the crime problem...there can be no overnight solution. If one strategy doesn't work we will try another. We will keep trying until we get it right."

Trinidad Express:
"Mr Joseph just has to go - Mr Manning does not need any monitoring mechanism to tell him what the country already knows - Mr Joseph's is one of the most demonstrably failed ministries, if not the most, in Trinidad and Tobago's 46 years of sovereign independence...How can he not now hold Mr Joseph accountable as, day after bloody day, the murder figures mount?
