A third sus­pect has been ar­rest­ed in the dis­ap­pear­ance of two-year-old An­ge­lo To­bias Plaza in To­ba­go.

The sus­pect was held yes­ter­day evening in Good­wood while an­oth­er per­son of in­ter­est es­caped as the po­lice drag­net closed in.

Po­lice say the in­ves­ti­ga­tion is at a sen­si­tive stage as one week has passed since the tod­dler was re­port­ed miss­ing.

His moth­er Kali­fah To­bias, 22, and her boyfriend Shan­non Miller, 25, re­main in po­lice cus­tody af­ter be­ing de­tained on Fri­day af­ter­noon.

Po­lice con­firmed both have been held at sep­a­rate po­lice sta­tions for ques­tion­ing.

The search for the miss­ing child widened yes­ter­day as in­tel­li­gence led au­thor­i­ties to the Stud­ley Park land­fill.

From as ear­ly as 10 am yes­ter­day, po­lice, the To­ba­go Emer­gency Man­age­ment Agency and Hunters Search and Res­cue Teams de­scend­ed on the dump, search­ing up un­til late in the af­ter­noon. How­ev­er, de­spite their ex­ten­sive ef­forts, the child's body was not lo­cat­ed.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.
