Fix­in' T&T Pres­i­dent Kirk Wait­he has cred­it­ed jour­nal­ist Lasana Liburd with draw­ing the group's at­ten­tion to graph­ic con­tent shown on the "Crime Watch" tele­vi­sion show. In a me­dia re­lease yes­ter­day, Wait­he said Liburd con­tact­ed the ac­tivist group af­ter view­ing the im­age of a "bleed­ing corpse" while shop­ping at a su­per­mar­ket with his girl­friend and young daugh­ter.

On the in­ter­net site www.wired868.com, Liburd tells of his 17-month-old daugh­ter see­ing a dead body for the first time on tele­vi­sion sets fac­ing cus­tomers near the cashiers at the su­per­mar­ket. Hear­ing "a loud wail," Liburd said, "they looked up in alarm, just in time to see a body bag un­zipped to re­veal the blood-splat­tered face of a young man as a fe­male voice on the set re­leased an un­for­get­table scream.

"So whom do I cred­it with in­tro­duc­ing my daugh­ter to the hor­ror of mur­der?" Liburd asked. He list­ed the su­per­mar­ket, tele­vi­sion host Ian Al­leyne and me­dia man­agers at TV6 as those re­spon­si­ble.
