T&T lawyer who escaped gunman at home killed in ambush

Taradath Singh

(Trinidad Express) Attorney-at-law and former police officer Taradath Singh, who survived a gun attack outside his Cunupia home last month, was shot dead outside a school in Charlieville on Tuesday evening.

Singh, 53, was reportedly leaving a gym in the area when he was ambushed by gunmen at about 6.25 pm.

He died at the scene.

The killing came about a month after a gunman emerged from bushes opposite Singh’s home at Penn Trace, Cunupia, and opened fire on him as he reversed his vehicle into the driveway.

That incident occurred at about 7.35 pm on September 28.

Singh managed to escape unhurt during the attack.

Reports following the September incident said he was reversing his vehicle into his driveway when the gunman emerged from nearby bushes and fired several shots at him.
