from History of the Caribbeans | Exploring Resilience and Culture · host history experts | Joe & Kevin

When Trinidad’s top prosecutor Dana Seetahal was assassinated in a calculated, military-style hit, the public demanded answers. But what they got was silence. Behind her death lies an invisible criminal network—funded by drug money, protected by politics, and operating through systems meant to uphold justice. This isn’t just the story of one woman’s murder. It’s the story of how a state can be infiltrated, silenced, and reshaped from within.Who pulled the trigger? Why were her files never recovered? And who still has the power to keep the truth buried ten years later? If gangs can assassinate a prosecutor, is anyone in Trinidad truly safe?Would you dare to name the real killers? Or is silence the only way to survive?
