Ministers asked to look into the possibility of resuming hangings

The Attorney General, along with the ministers of Homeland Security and Justice, have been asked to look into the possibility of resuming hangings in T&T.

This was revealed during today’s post-cabinet news conference by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar.

During this time, she also unveiled some statistics as it relates to  death row inmates in T&T.

Though the death penalty remains on the local lawbooks, it has not been exercised since 1999.

Mrs Persad-Bissessar also addressed what she said were reports regarding Gazetted schedules for the various Ministries.
