Crime economist: End gun violence in Tobago File photo: Anslem Richards Crime economist Anslem Richards is calling on the Prime Minister, National Security Minister Stuart Young and Police Commissioner Gary Griffith to devise strategies to stop the gun violence in Tobago. “We have to make sure we have the appropriate resources necessary to stop the development in Tobago,” he told Newsday on Wednesday. “We cannot leave this to fester any deeper in our society. It has to be treated as a priority for the law enforcement community.” Richards was responding to Monday night’s shooting near Egypt Junction, Bethel, which claimed the life of Ryan Thornhill. Three other men were seriously injured and are being treated at the Scarborough General Hospital.
