A government minister is asking people to avoid speculating on the details surrounding the discovery of the bodies of Sarah Smith and her two children in Tobago.

Gender and Child Affairs Minister Ayanna Webster-Roy believes the investigative process must be allowed to unfold and she is urging people with information to share it with authorities.

Minister Webster-Roy also extended condolences to the Smith family and the Parlatuvier community.

The discovery of the bodies in a WASA water tank at Parrot Hill, took place yesterday afternoon.
