Soldier among three in court for murder

A soldier is among three men who appeared before a Port of Spain Magistrate on Monday charged with the November 12 murder of Saisnarine Ningwah in Aranjuez.

Yasin Akil Rasheed-Gill, 25, a solider with the TT Defence Force, his cousin Kendell Gill, 22, Bhagloo Street and Augustus Patrick, 23, of Enterprise, Chaguanas, appeared in court on the murder charge as well as additional charges of possession of firearm and ammunition.

Ningwah, 43, a businessman, of Nanan Street West, Aranguez, was at his home on November 12 when three armed intruders entered the premises and announced a robbery.

Ningwah was shot multiple times about the body during a struggle with one of the assailants. The men then escaped with an undisclosed quantity of cash.

The three were charged by PC Noel Wren, of Homicide Bureau of Investigations, Region 2, on Friday.
