PM shocked, angered after killing of 5-year-old Anika Guerra

Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley says he is “shocked and angered” at the killing of five-year-old Anika Guerra. 

Gunmen opened fire on Moruga businessman Enrico Andy Guerra, killing him and his five-year-old daughter, on Tuesday night. 

The killing sent shockwaves across the country. 

Reacting to the murders, the Prime Minister wrote on Facebook late on Wednesday night, “Tonight, I am shocked and angered at the barbarism that could result in violent criminal conduct with total disregard for human life in our country, which could see an adult with a firearm deliver several shots into the body of a five-year-old child. This and acts like these represent the worst of what we are and what we have produced.” 

Dr Rowley pledged to “relentlessly pursue those who so wantonly assault our safety and security.” 

He went further in adding, “Our national efforts must not waver, the heartless perpetrators will be identified, and justice will be served towards the end of eliminating this scourge from our country.” 

The double murder in Moruga pushed the country’s murder toll past 400.
