Second man charged with Laing’s kidnapping

Flatts was charged yesterday with the two offences after police received instructions from DPP Roger Gaspard.

Gregory Laing was kidnapped on June 29 outside his San Fernando business Puff ‘n Stuff and a ransom of $270,000 was demanded for his safe return.

The money was paid and he was released in the Beetham Gardens area.

On June 30, police raided Alicia’s Guest House and held three people in connection with the kidnapping.

Four others were also held in the Laventille area.

On Monday another suspect Jespen Superville appeared in the same court charged with Laing’s kidnapping. Flatts was represented by attorney Ian Brooks.
