Update - Escaped Carrera Island prisoner David John Pierre was spotted on Monday near the St Michael's Roman Catholic School, in the Maracas Valley, at around 6 p.m. In an encounter with police, shots were fired. Police are in the Maracas Valley today searching for Pierre.


THESE are the mug shots of convicted killer David John Pierre, who was sentenced to death in 2002 for the murder of a Sangre Grande taxi-driver, but is now free, having escaped the Carrera Island prison on Sunday.

Law enforcement officials have asked that citizens examine the images closely and help find Pierre, who made it to the mainland from the prison located in the waters off Chaguaramas, on Trinidad's north west.

Pierre is considered armed and dangerous.

Pierre, then 22-years-old, was found guilty of killing 52-year-old Chanker Mootilal, in October 2002. He was sentenced to death by Justice Melville Baird.

According to the State's case, at around 11 a.m. on February 28, 2000, Pierre got into a taxi driven by Mootilal at Sangre Grande.
On reaching the 3 3/4 Mile Mark along the Toco Main Road, Vega de Oropouche, Pierre slit Mootilal's neck with a knife.

Mootilal handed over money, and Pierre cut him again. He then ordered Rampersad to help another passenger take Mootilal into some bushes at the side of the road, and to throw him into a pond.
Pierre took Mootilal's car and headed to Port of Spain, where he was held by a Traffic Branch officer after a high-speed chase along the Priority Bus Route. Mootilal died at hospital.

In 2003, Pierre's death sentence was vacated by the Court of Appeal, with the order that the case be remitted to a High Court Judge for sentencing in light of the Privy Council ruling that the death sentence was no longer mandatory.

As a result, Pierre's sentence was commuted to life in prison.
Pierre is believed to have escaped sometime between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. on Sunday. According to a statement from the Prison Service "He must be apprehended at once since he may be armed and considered dangerous. Any information as to his whereabouts must be reported immediately to the nearest police station and/or the prison authorities.

Pierre, 33, is described as brown in colour, 172 centimetres tall, 60 kilogrammes in weight, with a long face, brown eyes, low cut hair and slim build. He has a small scar on the forehead and left cheek, a tattoo of the name "Janelle" on the upper right arm, a tattoo of a heart on the right forearm, a long scar on the right side lower abdomen, small scar on the left lower abdomen, a long scar on the centre of the back, and burn marks at the back of the neck.
Pierre is of mixed descent, a Muslim, and worked as a welder before his arrest. He is single with no children and his last known address is Edoo Trace, Success Village, Laventille.

The manhunt for escaped Carrera Island inmate David John Pierre intensified yesterday after he was involved in a shootout with police in Maracas/St Joseph on Monday night. According to reports, shortly before 6 pm police on mobile patrol on Maracas Royal Road spotted Pierre at the Maracas Recreation Ground. He was inside a concrete cylinder in a corner of the savannah. Police said when he saw them, Pierre got up and started shooting at them.





They shot back and chased him as he ran through the savannah towards Santa Barbara Road, where he escaped into the bush. Police said they did not pursue him further because of poor light. When a news team from the T&T Guardian visited the area yesterday afternoon, scores of heavily-armed soldiers and police in tactical gear were patrolling several residential communities in Maracas/St Joseph. They were being assisted by a national security helicopter which was circling the Maracas Valley.



Pierre had not been recaptured up to late yesterday evening and the manhunt was expected to continue last night until this morning. Pierre is still considered armed and dangerous, police said. Several residents who live near the savannah yesterday told the T&T Guardian they were not aware Pierre was hiding out in the community. They said they would not feel safe until he was recaptured. The residents said they had seen a stranger eating mangoes in the savannah on Monday evening but did not pay much attention.



“We only realise who he was when the police start shooting and when we saw his picture on television last night,” one resident said. They also denied harbouring Pierre who escaped on Sunday morning. “This is not the type of community that helps a wanted man,” said a man who asked to remain unidentified. The residents said Pierre’s mother used to live nearby and he grew up in Maracas/St Joseph but moved when he was a child. They were shocked to learn Pierre had returned to the community when he escaped prison.



“We were a little shocked when we heard he was up here. We have not seen him since he was a little boy,” an elderly woman said. Pierre, 33, formerly of Success Village, Laventille, escaped from his cell on Sunday morning. He was convicted in September 2002 of the murder of 52-year-old taxi-driver Chanker Mootilal and was initially sentenced to hang but his sentence was eventually commuted to life imprisonment after he won an appeal.



On February 28, 2000, Pierre posed as a passenger in Mootilal’s car. While driving along the Toco Main Road, Pierre robbed Mootilal and slit his throat, then made a passenger help him dispose of Mootilal’s body before he drove off with the car. He was arrested after a chase with police.

ok so when police gave chase and d man ran into the bush, couldnt the army just have thrown a few well placed hand grenades?
surely that would have brought him out of the bush or made him a permenant structure there- either way i think the latter would be better.................

this is why you shouldn't attempt thinking. You really need to start keeping these brain farts to yourself.
