A death investigation is currently underway following the passing of a 26-year-old female employee assigned to Trinidad’s Police Administration Building, law enforcement officials have confirmed. The victim has been formally identified as Aquilah Rebekah Henry, a resident of Manraj Drive on Oudan Road in El Socorro. Henry held the position of Clerk II at the Port of Spain-based Police Administration Building, according to official police records.
First reports of the incident originated from Henry’s home, where uniformed officers were dispatched to respond just after 6:30 p.m. local time on Friday. Acting Inspector Murray and Acting Corporal Legendre were the lead investigating officers to arrive at the residential property, where they encountered already on-scene first responders including Police Constables Jaggernath and Meade, alongside a team from Emergency Health Services.
Upon entering the home, investigators located Henry unresponsive in an interior bedroom. In a statement to law enforcement, Henry’s 57-year-old father, who works as a professional chauffeur, shared that he last saw his daughter alive at roughly 8 a.m. the same day. When he returned to check on her at approximately 6 p.m., he found her in an unresponsive state and immediately placed a call to emergency authorities to request assistance.
A district medical officer attended the scene shortly after first responders arrived, and officially pronounced Henry dead at the residence. To advance the ongoing investigation, a court-ordered post-mortem examination has been scheduled to determine the exact cause of Henry’s death, a standard step in suspicious or unexplained death cases in the jurisdiction.
