Af­ter woman's brazen killing

More security at MovieTowne

Mandiero Peri Peri Grill yes­ter­day re­opened its doors to the pub­lic at Movi­eTowne, In­vaders Bay, Port-of-Spain.

It is the food es­tab­lish­ment where Ja­mil­ia DeReve­naux, 27, was at work on Sun­day when she was called out­side and bru­tal­ly mur­dered by a close male friend, who slashed her throat.

When the T&T Guardian vis­it­ed the busi­ness yes­ter­day, the cashier iden­ti­fied her­self as the su­per­vi­sor but said "they were in­struct­ed not to talk to the me­dia" about the in­ci­dent.

There were ex­tra sur­veil­lance cam­eras fit­ted in­side and out­side the food place, which were in­stalled on Mon­day af­ter­noon. On the out­side, in the north side car park, a large sec­tion was cor­doned off with "cau­tion" tape as work crews were seen in­stalling ad­di­tion­al sur­veil­lance cam­eras. There was al­so a heavy se­cu­ri­ty pres­ence yes­ter­day, as of­fi­cers from Tele­com Ser­vices were seen car­ry­ing out fre­quent mo­bile and foot pa­trols through­out the car parks and com­pound.

Speak­ing with the T&T Guardian, mall vis­i­tor Vanes­sa Samuel said she felt safer com­pared to oth­er days.

"I knew of the ter­ri­ble killing but I am here to­day and I feel very safe to see se­cu­ri­ty of­fi­cers every­where I turn."

Ronald Singh said while he was not high­ly con­cerned at what had hap­pened, he was con­cerned over crime in the coun­try.

"Too many killings, shoot­ings, rob­beries and vi­o­lence against women and all this mad­ness has to stop. This place needs prayers," he said.

Of­fi­cers in­ves­ti­gat­ing DeReve­naux's killing said they had leads but were yet to find the sus­pect up to last evening.

Fu­ner­al arrange­ments were not dis­closed to the T&T Guardian yes­ter­day.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing.
