On June 7, Joel Ramsingh, Stephen Eversley and Bhagwandeen Singh were put to death within 3 hours, starting at 6.00 am. These men had also been convicted of the brutal killing. Correspondents said it was a punishment that has wide support among politicians and the general public as a means of dealing with the high levels of violent crime in the region. Days after Trinidad executed Chadee and his henchmen, a poll conducted by the Psychological Unit at the University of the West Indies indicated 77% agreed hanging would reduce serious crime, while 23% disagreed.
