PH driver charged for raping passenger

According to police reports, on January 25, a 20-year-old San Fernando waitress boarded a PH taxi at Library Corner, San Fernando and asked to be taken to her home. But on reaching La Brea, the driver went off route and the victim was taken into a camp located at a lonely area in Sobo Village where the rape act took place.

On Wednesday, the suspect was held during a ‘sting’ operation carried out by Sgt Ali, Cpl Thompson and PC Maharaj in Gasparillo.

Cpl Thompson laid the charges.

He was remanded into custody and will re-appear in court next week.
