Wanted man surrenders to cops

A 29-year-old man who was wanted for shooting a Freeport man on August 9 walked into the Chaguanas Police Station yesterday and surrendered to police officers.

The man, who is the relative of a senior police officer, was interviewed and later charged with attempted murder. Reports revealed that on August 9, Devanand Sookdeo, 35, was at Derrick Road, Chase Village, when he was called out of an apartment by a man known to him. Reports revealed that an argument ensued and Sookdeo was shot three times about the body. He was rushed to the Port-of-Spain General Hospital where he was treated and warded. A warrant was issued for the suspect but despite several attempts by the police to arrest him, they were unsuccessful. The charge against the man was laid by PC Figaro.
