A day be­fore the fu­ner­al of mur­dered CNC3 free­lance cam­er­a­woman Kellyann Lemessy, a man post­ing un­der the name of Kevin Ran­di­al is­sued a mes­sage say­ing: “Kel­ly Ann Lemessey, I want to hear you open your mouth about me now.”

The threat, which was made yes­ter­day, al­so fol­lowed a se­ries of death threats is­sued over the week­end tar­get­ing Rio Claro East Sec­ondary School, in­still­ing fear among stu­dents, teach­ers and res­i­dents.

Be­fore her death, Lemessy told Crime­watch host Ian Al­leyne that she had some in­for­ma­tion about the school threats which she want­ed to share.

She was ex­pect­ed to meet Al­leyne but was killed short­ly be­fore the meet­ing.

Po­lice have not yet ar­rest­ed any­one in con­nec­tion with Lemessy’s mur­der, but a po­lice source said the mo­tive for her mur­der was linked to an on­go­ing dis­pute.

The threats lev­elled against spe­cif­ic teach­ers and stu­dents at Rio Claro East Sec­ondary start­ed in Oc­to­ber last year and in­ten­si­fied over the Christ­mas hol­i­days.

It stopped af­ter as­sur­ances were giv­en by Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der that ar­rests are im­mi­nent. The threats re­sumed this week­end.

Speak­ing to Guardian Me­dia, the pres­i­dent of the school’s PTA, Derek Coop­er, said since Min­is­ter Alexan­der and Ed­u­ca­tion Min­is­ter Michael Dowlath vis­it­ed, the se­cu­ri­ty sys­tems put in place have fall­en apart.

“The se­cu­ri­ty arrange­ments have not been ad­hered to, and par­ents are get­ting very frus­trat­ed be­cause we are not get­ting any up­dates,” he said.

Coop­er said he found it lu­di­crous that no one has been held re­spon­si­ble.

In one of the most re­cent posts over the week­end, the ac­count shared a let­ter ad­dressed di­rect­ly to the school stat­ing: “Dear Rio Claro East Sec­ondary, I am writ­ing to is­sue a warn­ing that the cam­pus will be the site of a trag­ic event on Feb­ru­ary 2.”

The au­thor al­leged he had en­dured years of mis­treat­ment by the in­sti­tu­tion. The post was ac­com­pa­nied by the song Straw­ber­ry and gen­er­at­ed more than 120 com­ments.

When an­oth­er Tik­Tok user sug­gest­ed the mes­sage was a hoax in­tend­ed to avoid school­work, Ran­di­al re­spond­ed: “This is not a hoax but re­venge. You don’t know what these peo­ple did to me.”

At least six sep­a­rate threats were post­ed over the week­end.

On Sun­day, the same ac­count de­clared: “Every­one will be dead soon.”

Coop­er said the threat­en­ing posts linked to the same ac­count first ap­peared in Oc­to­ber 2025, prompt­ing grow­ing con­cern.

Po­lice have not con­firmed whether the in­di­vid­ual be­hind the ac­count has been iden­ti­fied or de­tained, but in­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.

Con­tact­ed for com­ment, pres­i­dent of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Uni­fied Teach­ers’ As­so­ci­a­tion (TTUTA), Crys­tal Bevin Ashe, crit­i­cised what he de­scribed as de­lays in en­force­ment.

He said TTUTA first vice pres­i­dent Nigel Fi­garo and in­dus­tri­al re­la­tions of­fi­cer Jeer­von Pur­cell vis­it­ed the school yes­ter­day to sup­port af­fect­ed staff.

When con­tact­ed, Ed­u­ca­tion Min­is­ter Michael Dowlath said the in­ves­ti­ga­tion was al­most com­plete.

Last week, Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der said ar­rests were com­ing. He could not be reached for fur­ther com­ment up to news time.
