MV Barima Trial Set for November | Trinidad and Tobago News

Three men, including the captain of the MV Barima, face murder charges after the vessel sank on July 18, killing over 100 people. The ship, en route from Georgetown to Port Kaituma, capsized due to a massive wave, though official records understated the number of passengers. The trio—captain Kevin Price, chief mate Rondell Dwayne Roberts, and goods superintendent Delon Granderson—were remanded into custody and will return to court on September 14 to decide whether to file defense statements, with a deadline of October 19. Preliminary proceedings are set for November 16, 2026, as prosecutors complete their evidence and the legal team reviews the case.
