A sitting judge receives a threat on his life and the Law Association calls it an attack on the Judiciary and the democracy.

On Wednesday this week the controversial Justice Frank Seepersad received an envelope, which carried a note and a bullet.

Apart from the 9mm bullet there was a written warning telling Justice Seepersad he should resign or the bullet would look good between his eyes.

Police say the note was written on a red triangular piece of wet paper and there was also writing around the bullet but police were unable to decipher what was written.

The envelope and its contents were handed over to AG CPL Taikan and have been taken for analysis.

The Law Association sees the threat as an attack on the Judiciary.
