Nearly 14 days after the brazen targeted fatal shooting of former police officer turned private attorney Taradath Singh, homicide investigators in Trinidad and Tobago are prioritizing testimony from an on-duty police constable who was a firsthand witness to the ambush, as the manhunt for the at-large gunman remains ongoing. Multiple law enforcement sources with direct ties to the probe confirmed to the Sunday Express that the constable was stopped on John Peter Road Extension in Charlieville, Chaguanas, on October 27 after his Toyota Hilux suffered unexpected mechanical failure, while he was en route to get a meal. The 53-year-old Singh had just finished a workout at the nearby Power House Gym at the intersection of Caroni Savannah Road and ASJA Avenue when the attack unfolded. Per the official station diary entry the constable filed at Chaguanas Police Station, he had a brief casual greeting with Singh as the attorney walked along Caroni Savannah Road moments before the violence erupted. Within minutes, he saw Singh sprint directly toward his parked vehicle, pursued by a medium-build unknown assailant of undetermined ethnicity carrying a dark object consistent in appearance with a firearm. The constable reported hearing Singh’s panicked shouts followed by multiple loud, explosive gunshots; as he was not carrying his service weapon at the time and feared for his own life, he immediately drove away from the scene, and promptly alerted emergency responders before notifying his shift supervisor of the murder. Homicide units have since formally seized the original station diary containing the constable’s firsthand account as evidence. The officer was among the first pool of witnesses interviewed in the initial phase of the investigation, but as of last Friday, no suspects have been taken into custody or charged in connection with Singh’s death. The high-profile killing sent ripples of alarm across both Trinidad and Tobago’s legal community and national police service, as Singh had a prior career in law enforcement before transitioning to private legal practice, and had already survived a previous attempted assassination before last month’s fatal ambush, which detectives classify as a pre-planned targeted hit. Investigators are currently cross-referencing all witness statements, including the constable’s detailed account, to identify the shooter and trace back to any possible mastermind who ordered the contract killing. While multiple working theories exist about the motive and party responsible for the hit, law enforcement officials state they are meticulously vetting every piece of incoming evidence and will not release unconfirmed public findings prematurely. Senior homicide officials now believe the suspected gunman may be part of a two-person hit team linked to a string of contract killings across the twin-island nation. Detectives are actively exploring potential ties between Singh’s murder and the October 28, 2026, fatal shooting of 55-year-old Kavita Deosaran, owner of Couva’s SOHO Beauty Haven spa, who was killed alongside 64-year-old customer Cheryl Dixon in a daytime assault. Both attacks share key similarities, including witness descriptions of masked assailants wearing full coveralls. While police have not formally announced an official connection between the two unsolved murders, multiple senior insiders confirm that intelligence teams are prioritizing verification of whether the same two-man crew or a broader transnational criminal hire network carried out both deadly attacks.
