PM silent on probe into alleged assassination plot

Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has re­fused to com­ment on an al­leged plot in­volv­ing three promi­nent busi­ness per­sons to mur­der her and oth­er mem­bers of her gov­ern­ment.

Asked by Guardian Me­dia to com­ment di­rect­ly on the con­tin­ued de­ten­tion of Blue Wa­ters own­er Do­minic Hadeed, his wife Genevieve and her ma­ter­nal aunt Star Sab­ga, as well as re­ports that she was di­rect­ly tar­get­ed, the Prime Min­is­ter de­clined to do so.

How­ev­er, in­ves­ti­ga­tors close to the probe have placed the Prime Min­is­ter at the cen­tre of the on­go­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tion sur­round­ing an al­leged plot to mur­der Gov­ern­ment of­fi­cials and desta­bilise the coun­try.

On Sat­ur­day, Pre­ven­tive De­ten­tion Or­ders were signed and is­sued by Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der un­der the Emer­gency Pow­ers Reg­u­la­tions, 2026.

The two Hadeeds were ar­rest­ed by po­lice at their Bayshore, West­moor­ings home on Wednes­day while Sab­ga was de­tained on Thurs­day.

Do­minic is cur­rent­ly be­ing de­tained at the Re­mand Prison, Gold­en Grove, while his wife and Sab­ga are be­ing held at the Women’s Prison, Gold­en Grove.

The ar­rests come near­ly two weeks days af­ter the Prime Min­is­ter en­dorsed a warn­ing by At­tor­ney Gen­er­al John Je­re­mie that no seg­ment of so­ci­ety, in­clud­ing the so-called “one per cent” busi­ness elites, was be­yond the reach of the law.
