The po­lice of­fi­cer ac­cused of killing sib­lings Sime­on and Sini­aya Lessey at the Courts Mega­s­tore, San Juan last week­end – has been charged with two counts of mur­der.

PC Sid­ney Roberts, who was last at­tached to the Jus­tice Pro­tec­tion Pro­gramme, is ex­pect­ed to ap­pear be­fore a Port-of-Spain Mag­is­trate to­mor­row.

The fa­tal shoot­ing was the sub­ject of three in­ves­ti­ga­tions by the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice, the Po­lice Com­plaints Au­thor­i­ty and the TTPS Pro­fes­sion­al Stan­dards Bu­reau.

Uni­com­er (Trinidad) Ltd, the par­ent com­pa­ny of Courts Trinidad Lim­it­ed dis­tanced it­self from the furore which it claimed had re­sult­ed from a “pri­vate fi­nan­cial trans­ac­tion” that had been tak­ing place on its com­pound.

In ad­di­tion to the killing of Sime­on, 33, and Sini­aya Lessey, 35, Sime­on’s wife Ker­rey-Ann Moore and fam­i­ly friend Nathan Pierre, were left nurs­ing in­juries.
