Don’t hide good news

Of course, all murders are not the same. Can we really be expected to regret the deaths of two criminals, shot by two other criminals outside the St Joseph Police Station, to the same extent as the murder of a 73-year-old woman in Arima during a robbery at her home? I do have a problem with the story on page 18, “Bar owner shoots three bandits, one dead”.

This is the kind of good news we want to see on the front page. If it cannot be accommodated on the front page, at least on page 3 please. The response of the bar owner and the residents of Paramin, who worked together to prevent the bandits escaping from the area, is something to be praised, not hidden away on page 18.
