The state-owned Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT) is offering a reward of $100,000 to anyone who provides information that help in finding the killer of its employee, Kenny Goddard.
A statement from TSTT Monday said Goddard, 38, was installing telephone cables in Cocorite, just outside Port of Spain Sunday night when he was killed by an unidentified gunman who escaped in a waiting while police were stationed at the work site.
TSTT's rwaed was originally $25,000. However it pushed it up after meeting with the Communication Workers Union (CWU).
Thye TSTT statement called Goddard's death a "senseless, brutish, selfish attack" and said the company has retained counsellors to help employees deal with the trauma and loss. It said it is also offering the service to Goddard's family.
"TSTT is co-operating fully with the police in the conduct of their investigations to bring the individuals responsible to justice...and is encouraging anyone with information that can help the police investigation to come forward and share this information with the police or call CrimeStoppers," the statement added.
President of the CWU, Joseph Remy held a news conference Monday and demanded that TSTT do a better job of protecting employees , however, is calling on TSTT to do more to protect its workers. Remy said the incident is "a travesty of justice" and called on TSTT to take full responsibility.
Remy said it was TSTT's custom to allow employees to work after hours in high-risk areas without proper security. "The work was supposed to have been completed at 6.30 p.m. it went on to 11.30 p.m. and there was not one single TSTT security personnel on site to protect the (14) employees," Remy said.
Remy also called on the officers who were assigned the duty to explain what happened. "If they say they were there when Mr Goddard was shot in cold blood, where were they, that's all we are asking?" he said.
