Welcome to Redwall News, Trinidad and Tobago. It's Thursday 16th February 2023. At the time of recording the homicide figure is at least 85. Deputy political leader of the PDP Kezel Jackson yesterday resigned from the party, claiming PDP political leader Watson Duke was not stable enough to have her genuine support. There's been some tic for tat on social media, which led to Jackson saying that Duke should head straight to Hollywood as he's a very good actor. On Tuesday, around 7PM, three men robbed a supermarket in Barrackpore. They were wearing dark clothing, wearing masks, and carrying guns; Witnesses told police they appeared to be Latin Americas. During the robbery, a police officer entered the supermarket and the bandits robbed him too. https://trinidadexpress.com/newsextra/cop-walks-into-supermarket-robbery-in-progress-and-gets-robbed/article_e5e8d5de-ad35-11ed-9a37-43cc2f5244cb.html https://trinidadexpress.com/news/local/watson-duke-is-not-stable/article_fa05bae6-ad99-11ed-a321-efb0c0195db2.html
