The T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) has de­nied that the lap­top of mur­dered at­tor­ney Ran­dall Hec­tor is miss­ing.

In fact, DCP Suzette Mar­tin told Guardian Me­dia all ev­i­dence col­lect­ed at this time in re­la­tion to the in­ves­ti­ga­tion has been prop­er­ly se­cured, and there is no in­di­ca­tion that any ev­i­dence is miss­ing.

In a re­lease is­sued yes­ter­day, the TTPS dis­missed an Ex­press news­pa­per ar­ti­cle say­ing that Hec­tor’s lap­top, which may con­tain clues that could as­sist the po­lice in solv­ing his mur­der, had gone miss­ing.

Last De­cem­ber 31, Hec­tor was mur­dered in front of his fam­i­ly af­ter at­tend­ing a church on Stan­more Av­enue, Port-of-Spain.

Hec­tor worked as a le­gal of­fi­cer with the Strate­gic Ser­vices Agency and up to the time of his death was as­signed to the of­fice of the Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions (DPP) where he was re­spon­si­ble for pros­e­cut­ing a re­put­ed gang leader.

The TTPS re­lease stat­ed that the in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­to Hec­tor’s mur­der is ac­tive­ly be­ing pur­sued by of­fi­cers of the Homi­cide Bu­reau of In­ves­ti­ga­tions.

How­ev­er, Mar­tin went fur­ther. She said, “Our in­ves­ti­ga­tors are work­ing dili­gent­ly to fol­low all leads and are com­mit­ted to en­sur­ing that jus­tice is served. The TTPS un­der­stands the com­mu­ni­ty’s con­cern and ap­pre­ci­ates the sup­port as we pur­sue this in­ves­ti­ga­tion.

“We urge any­one with in­for­ma­tion, no mat­ter how in­signif­i­cant it may seem, to come for­ward. This in­ves­ti­ga­tion re­mains ac­tive, and we will con­tin­ue to pro­vide up­dates as ap­pro­pri­ate.”
