Arima MP Penelope Beckles has come out in defence of the people of Heights of Aripo who were unfairly blamed for the murder of Andrea Bharatt.
Beckles was speaking at a healing ceremony at the Heights of Aripo Community Centre on Saturday, more than two weeks after Bharatt's body was found off a precipice in the district. The ceremony was held by the Santa Rosa First People’s Community.
