WHAT ABOUT MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES AND THE DIVERS’ DEATHS, MR. DPP?

By KEN ALI

NOW that Director of Public Prosecutions Roger Gaspard is “in a gear,” to adopt a term of my young friends, there should be renewed focus on manslaughter charges with respect to the Paria divers’ deaths.

The commission of enquiry, headed by legal luminary Jerome Lynch KC, made that recommendation in a stunning report just over a year ago.

The matter may well have become statute barred, but justice has not been served in what was one of the world’s most horrendous diving tragedies.

The enquiry cost taxpayers $15.6 million.

But there is no price on the nation’s heartbreak, especially in light of the cold indifference by the authorities of the day.

Fifteen health and safety charges were eventually brought against two top managers and the company, but that matter is languishing in the court, Trinidad and Tobago justice-style.

Lynch and fellow commissioners found sufficient grounds to determine that there was criminal negligence.

Gaspard wrote to then-police boss Erla Harewood-Christopher asking for a criminal probe to determine whether charges of manslaughter by gross negligence should be initiated.

That was the last we heard of the authorities’ response to the horrifying 2022 deaths of Yusuf Henry, Rishi Nagassar, Kazim Ali Jr., and Fyzal Kurban.

Trinidad and Tobago will not easily forget that the divers were left to die, with no effort made to save their lives.
The pain, anguish, and outrage remain raw and real.
Mr. DPP, the nation is still waiting for justice.
