Tight security as Bakr appears in court

A cloud of tight security was wrapped around the Port of Spain Magistrate Court a couple hours ago as Jamaat-al-Muslimeen leader Yasin Abu Bakr appeared in court.

Bakr is appearing before Chief Magistrate Marcia Ayres Ceasar charged with murder. He has been incarcerated at the Maximum Security Prison in Arouca since his arrest last week. A large Muslimeen presence was expected both in and out of the courthouse.

A TrakkerNews reporter is currently in the courtroom and will bring updates as it unfolds.
