Worried family hopes to speak to kidnapped woman

RELATIVES of kidnap victim Tricia Suryadevera are hoping they can be allowed to speak with her when next her kidnappers telephone them.
Hours after she was abducted from her business place at High Street, Princes Town, her captors called her father, Teeluck Shirkissoon, demanding $2 million for her safe return. The kidnappers also told relatives that they would be contacting them again today. Since the incident, the Shirkissoon family has been praying that Suryadevera would be released unharmed. The family has been receiving an outpouring of support and prayers from businessmen, Government officials and friends. Suryadevera was snatched by three masked gunmen who stormed her businessplace — Trinkets Ltd — early Monday morning. Her four employees were ordered to lie on the floor at the back of the building while the gunmen dragged her into a waiting B13 Sentra. Members of the Anti-Kidnapping Squad (AKS) are continuing investigations.
