WHILE the US State Department has this country ranked at Level II (exercise increased caution), the country's capital has been placed on Level IV, with the strict warning for Americans not to travel in Port of Spain.

The advisory was posted on October 5 on the US State Department's website.

The increased travel advisory warning on TT, the State Department said, is due to crime, terrorism, and kidnapping.

It warned Americans not to travel to: Laventille, Beetham, Sea Lots, Cocorite, and the interior of the Queen's Park Savannah because of crime.

The website said  TT's country summary is that violent crimes, such as murder, robbery, assault, sexual assault, home invasions and kidnapping are common.

Gang activity, such as narcotics trafficking, is common. A significant portion of violent crime is gang-related.

The State Department warned: Terrorists may attack with little or no warning, targeting tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets/shopping malls, local government facilities, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, parks, major sporting and cultural events, educational institutions, airports and other public areas.

Violence and shootings occur regularly in some areas of Port of Spain, the State Department said.

It added that all US government personnel (working at the embassy and related field offices) are prohibited from travelling to Laventille, Beetham, Sea Lots, Cocorite, and the interior of Queen's Park Savannah.

"After dark, US government personnel are prohibited from travelling to downtown Port of Spain, Fort George overlook, and all beaches."

National Security Minister Fitzgerald Hinds, speaking on the TV6 news on Friday night, said he could not understand the reason or justification for the US travel advisory.

Hinds said that as far as terrorism was concerned he couldn't recall, within recent times, such acts taking place in this country.

"As for kidnappings, some people blend kidnappings for ransom with kidnappings simpliciter (abductions)."

On the warning to stay away from the interior of the Queen's Park Savannah, Hinds said only on Friday he was in contact with acting Commissioner of Police McDonald Jacob, who said based on statistics, there had been no major criminal acts in the Savannah.

He said he will speak with Cabinet colleagues on whether or not some kind of explanation should be sought from the US Government on this advisory, which has the potential to affect TT's tourism potential, trade and other activities.

He also hit out at citizens – including members of the media – for bad-mouthing TT, especially when conversing with foreigners.

Several mourners paid glowing tributes to slain administrative clerk Marissa Diane Edwards at her funeral on Friday.

They did not directly mention the now-dead suspect responsible for their pain and grief.

Scores of mourners gathered at the family's home at John Elie Road Extension in Freeport.

Edwards's sister Elizabeth Edwards and another relative, Tishelle Tobias,gave the eulogy.

Elizabeth referred to her sister as a beautiful and gracious young woman, saying she had a gentleness that was so hard to find in today's world.

"She saw the best in everything and everyone. Not a second goes by that we do not think of her.

"We are forever grateful for the treasured memories that we have that would never be forgotten and the blessings to our lives that she was. It breaks our heart that she was taken away so unexpectedly."

Edwards, 39, the mother of one, worked as an administrative clerk at the Department of Paraclinical Sciences at UWI's Faculty of Medicine in St Augustine.

She was last seen alive on September 18, when she left home with her boyfriend Simeon Roopchand, 51.

A week later, on September 26, members of the NGO Hunters Search and Rescue Team found her decomposing body in a drain in Waterloo. An autopsy found Edwards died of blunt force trauma and strangulation with a copper wire, which was around her neck.

Her boyfriend's body was found in a forested area in Tabaquite on September 23. He is believed to have died by suicide.

Elizabeth told mourners her sister was educated, had many certificates in several fields, and was ambitious.

"She loved agriculture. She had a bachelor's degree in computer science. She began her second bachelor's degree in law to become a lawyer, and was very gifted with her hands. She was talented in floral arrangements, art, sewing, cake-making and decorating.

"From a young age, she was active in God's kingdom. She unapologetically stood up for what she believed was right, regardless of whose toes she stepped on or whose ego was bruised."

He said whenever problems or things are overwhelming people's lives and it seems they are losing hope, they become troubled. Ramdial added that some people do not know what to do or who to turn to when this happens.

"Some people turn to the bottle, some turn to a friend, some turn to a piece of rope, some turn to all different types of things," Ramdial said. "The world is in a place of sadness and chaos. We are not only hurting, but the whole world is crying."
