Headlines (00:00-00:27)2. Fourteen years after the last man was hanged in Trinidad and Tobago, two condemned killers are to go to the gallows, next Tuesday. Death warrants were read on Thursday to Michael Bullock and Irvine Phillip. The two have exhausted their legal appeals with the local courts and the British Privy Council. The announcement has come as the country buried its Prison Commissioner, Michael Hercules. The Commissioner was gunned down by two bandits who demanded the keys to his car. Hercules refused and was shot three times in the chest at point blank range. Trinidadian lawyer, Gregory Delzin says despite his attempts to galvanize a defence team for the two prisoners, the timing of the planned execution leaves little room for hope of a reprieve. Delzin noted that it is more than coincidental that these two men have to be hanged on just around the occasion of the Commisioner’s funeral.

Costa Rica said last week that it knew nothing of the letter and claimed its ambassador was acting on his own.
