Police have found the getaway car used by gunmen who attempted to kill Rachael Sukhdeo—the widow of murdered real estate and car dealer Sheron Sukhdeo, on Mother’s Day.
The car, a Nissan Tiida suspected to have been stolen, was found abandoned not far from the shooting scene.

Police were told that around 3.15 a.m. yesterday Sukhdeo, a mother of two, was leaving Hanggers Extreme restaurant and bar in Heartland Plaza, Chaguanas, when gunmen began firing toward her.
Sukhdeo was not hit and was able to escape the scene and report the attack to Chaguanas Police Station.
She was with a male companion at the time of the attack.
Police said no one else was shot in the incident. However, several people were injured and taken to hospital for treatment.
Witnesses reported seeing masked men fleeing the scene.
Several vehicles and the building were hit by bullets.
Someone captured the sound on the gunshots and a woman identified as Rachael Sukhdeo sprinting through the parking lot, away from the gunfire.
Hours after the attack Sukhdeo updated her Facebook page, making no mention of the shooting attempt, but wishing her friends and family a happy Mother’s Day.

It’s the latest in a string of incidents to affect the affluent family. Sheron Sukhdeo was killed in March 2018 after being shot near the home of one of his wife’s relatives in Charlieville.
Rachael Sukhdeo’s brother, Phillip Bassant, would be murdered a mere two weeks later, not far from where her husband was killed.
April and May 2018 also saw the deaths of Sheron’s neighbour, Joshua Plaza, and a former employee, Erwin Beckles.
Sheron’s younger brother, Sheldon, was kidnapped in January 2019. A $2 million ransom was requested, but six weeks later his body was found in a forested area in Las Lomas. None of these incidents led to arrests.
Wtf
Can’t beleive this woman is still in Trinidad, she brave, give har that!
Wow, whatever it is for me looking from the outside I don’t even want to know because for whosoever want to leave her Kids Orphan this is bigger and serious than we can ever imagined.
She needs to leave. Why is she so comfortable hanging out at local bars after all that have happened? SMH
Dem yah ppl yah inna too much wrongs di money too dutty wid too much bones.
Two brothers killed within the space of a year, that is awful.
Can’t she seek asylum in another country since they murdered her close family and are trying to kill her?
THERE ARE MANY GROUNDS THAT ASYLUM CAN BE GRANTED..
ESPECIALLY WITH THIS MUCH DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE.
I figured. She must not love her life then. Assuming she isn’t trying to gain asylum.
Rachel not going a place. The talk is now that she is with Sheron best friend so that just make things deeper now. plus she in control of the money so she not letting that go at all
