The Confederation of Regional Business Chambers describes as astounding, the turn of events in the Vindra Naipaul-Coolman case.

Yesterday, chairman of CRBC, Vivek Charran remarked that the business community viewed this outcome with a deep sense of dread.

Mr. Charran recalls the spate of kidnappings, which saw members of the business community being targeted.

He believes conviction is the only remedy. 

Mrs. Naipaul-Coolman’s body was never found.
