HEROIC OFFICERS RISK THEIR LIVES TO SAVE FAMILY, INCLUDING A BABY, FROM CRASHING OVER PRECIPICE Story from Liz Williams' facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1R9vhiMJRA/ Dear Liz Williams , I want to highlight and recognise the bravery of my husband Fire Officer Claudius Joseph who is attached to the Piarco Fire Station and also a member of the Defence Force, Private Brian Sayneeram of the who both risked their own lives, to rescue members of a family whose vehicle (which was driving ahead of ours). The vehicle veered off the Arima/Blanchisseuse Road close to the Asa Wright Nature Centre, and was hanging on to trees approximately 80 ft down a precipice, on the night of April 21st. Involved were three souls a one-year-old baby boy, his mother, and the mother's 62-year-old father in-law who was the driver. Thank God in the two vehicles driving behind them had a soldier and a firefighter--Private Brian Sayneeram of the Defence Force HEAD QUARTERS and Fire Sub. Officer Claudius Joseph of the Piarco Fire Station. They both sprang into action, descending down into the treacherous gully with no equipment and in inappropriate clothing. A few moments later, with baby in hand, Fire Sub. Officer Joseph emerged from the wreckage ascending and delivering the baby to safe hands atop. Right behind was Private Sayneeram who had rescued the baby's mother from the wreck. Both brave and courageous young men went back for the driver who was the last to be saved. Three persons were taken to Arima, then Mt Hope Hospital hospital with what seemed to be only minor injuries. God is good!! I thank God for saving these souls from death. I thank the Holy Ghost for directing these two men to be at the right place at the right time. The job that both men did without hesitation was commendable.

His two hands and feet were broken during an alleged beating that left him dead; relatives accuse a police officer and her colleagues of attempting to cover up the killing. Relatives of a Santa Cruz man claim he was beaten to death, and the suspect and his sister, a police officer, are seeking to make it appear that the deceased fell from a roof. The deceased, Crime Watch has been reliably informed, is Sheldon Gloster, who is in his early fifties of Blackford Street, Cantaro Village, Santa Cruz. The incident happened at a residence at Jigga Hill, Cantaro Village in Santa Cruz on Monday, March 24th, 2025, and Gloster died at the Mt. Hope Hospital. A relative told us that after the beating, which was witnessed by a neighbor, the suspect contacted his sister, who works at a police station in the North Eastern Division. She arrived with her colleagues, and that's when the cover-up of the fatal incident began. This is a developing story, and additional information will be provided in a subsequent post and during the Crime Watch show from 5:45 pm. this afternoon. This story was updated (IAN)
