PH driver charged with rape

A 30-year-old PH “taxi driver” from Central Trinidad is expected to appear in the San Fernando Magistrate’s Court today charged with raping a teenaged female passenger.

The suspect was positively identified in an identification parade on Friday.

Police said a 17-year-old student from South Trinidad boarded his PH taxi in San Fernando to be taken to her home. Instead, the driver took her against her will to a lonely area where he raped her and also robbed her.

A report was made to the San Fernando police who conducted investigations and arrested the suspect.
