Express, April 26.) Two more people may have been murdered on that weekend.

JUST as most people are observing the covid19 protocols, Archbishop Jason Gordon is calling on the nation to also pay attention to the pandemics of domestic violence and gang violence if they want to make this country a better place to live in.
“We have to build a culture of peace in Trinidad and Tobago (starting) from the little child up,” Archbishop Gordon said during Mass on Sunday at the La Divina Pastora church in Siparia.
“Many times, what happens in domestic violence could have been averted if sometime earlier in that person’s life, they learned how to deal with the difficult emotions and learned how to express disagreement and learned how to deal with the powerlessness in a way that is healthy and respects the dignity of other people.”
