A 16-year-old res­i­dent at the Youth Train­ing Cen­tre in Arou­ca, who is in for mur­der, has threat­ened the lives of four prison of­fi­cers.

The of­fi­cers are all cur­rent­ly as­signed to the cen­tre lo­cat­ed at Gold­en Grove.

The pris­ons of­fi­cers are a 52-year-old act­ing prison su­per­vi­sor orig­i­nal­ly from To­ba­go, a 49-year-old prison of­fi­cer II of Ste Made­line, a 36-year-old prison of­fi­cer I of Tal­paro and a 26-year-old prison of­fi­cer I of Tu­na­puna.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, at about 12.50 pm on Mon­day, the of­fi­cers were on du­ty at the YTC, when they spoke to the teen about com­ply­ing with the pro­ce­dures of the or­gan­i­sa­tion.

It is said he be­came an­noyed and start­ed mak­ing threats to the of­fi­cers, say­ing “I drop re­al bod­ies al­ready, any­time I get a ma­chine (re­fer­ring to a cell phone) I go call ah shot to kill all ah al­lyuh, and any­body liv­ing Tu­na­puna I go make sure my peo­ple kill al­lyuh”.

The of­fi­cers sub­se­quent­ly made a re­port to the Prison’s ad­min­is­tra­tion and were ad­vised to make an of­fi­cial re­port at the Arou­ca Po­lice Sta­tion which they all did.

A probe is now un­der­way.
