Hope Arismandez Murdered
I am afraid something terribly wrong happened to this little girl. 
The country is full of child abusers ans who knows what happened to her. I would like to know who is this neighbor because I personally don't believe at all the story of this man.
QUOTE A man on suicide watch in a police station holds the key to finding out the whereabouts of eight-year-old Hope Arismandez, who vanished from her home in Chaguanas at the weekend.
Urged on by a desperate mother, the 28-year-old truck-driver was questioned yesterday by Homicide and Anti-Kidnapping Squad officers.
He has denied doing anything bad to the girl who was left in his care.
Police were told that a man took Hope from her family's apartment at Limehead Road, Chase Village, on Saturday night.
Hope is a first standard pupil of the Carapichaima Roman Catholic Primary School.
She lives with her mother Sherma Rajoon, 48, and brother Kirk, 14. She is the youngest of Rajoon's five children.
Rajoon works two jobs and was at a supermarket in Chaguanas on Saturday when her daughter disappeared.
Rajoon said Hope called her at 9 p.m. And said the man was preparing a meal of chicken and fries for her. Half-an-hour later, Rajoon arrived home to find the apartment empty.
The man returned at 11 p.m. And said he had gone to fill his gas tank and had left Hope with a tenant.
The man said he decided to drink two beers before returning to the apartment. The tenant said she knew nothing of Hope's whereabouts....

What a terrible news although that was exactly what I thought they would find and KNtoran seemed to agree with me as well as he also assumed she was dead. Unfortunately, statistics show that in similar circumstances the child is usually dead within an hour of being kidnapped after being sexually abused.
My heart goes to her mother and friends at this awful moment in their lives. May she rest in peace and the perpetrator put to death.

This reminds me of that Member who used to be here that was angry about us saying you should not leave your children with relatives and friends for lengthy periods. Trinis often have to pay a high price to learn.
Do note, I am sure this is not the first time she has left her child with 'somebody', but unfortunately it will be her last. Hope, is in a happier place now, that is what the mother has to understand.

My goodness, this girl went through torture and a very painful and slow death. It is beyond me when I read stories like this one, why would a mother leave their precious kids with their boyfriends since based on statistics they are usually the perpetrators. *sigh* Is there justice in Trinidad and Tobago? Would this man be brought to justice? Would the women in Trinidad wake up and stop engaging in relationship with losers that end up harming their kids?

| In an abandoned canefield less than a mile from her home, the search ended yesterday evening for eight-year-old Hope Arismandez. Taken from the house four days ago by a man she loved and trusted, Hope's decaying body was defiled. The girl, who wanted to be a teacher, was found wearing only a pink top, face down in the dirt, stabbed several times. Police said it appeared from the position of her body she had been sodomised and raped. It appeared she had also been cut open. A knife was found near the body. The body was found at the side of a canefield road off the Pierre Connector Road in Chaguanas at 4.15 p.m. Fifteen minutes earlier, a 28-year-old man in police custody since Hope's disappearance is said to have confessed. Many of the people who lined the road to mourn Hope's killing were on their way to the Uriah Butler Highway to protest last week's killing of young businessman Surindra Bridegmohan. (See other story) Instead, they stopped to rail against the hopelessness of it all, and to remember similar child killings: Four-year-old Amy Annamunthodo and six-year-old old Sean Luke. Hope, a first standard pupil of the Carapichaima Roman Catholic School, lived with her mother, Sherma Ranjoon, 58, and a 14-year-old brother, in an apartment complex at Lime Head Road, Chase Village, Chaguanas.... |

Yes I figured she was dead from the news reports of the man who now has confessed. I think he should be strung up and let everyone see how they will deal with the criminals who prey on small children. Maybe that will help save some childrens lives. Some how I do not have much faith in the government or the police down there at the moment.

You are not the only one. You merely have to read the Thread about Sexual Harassment in Trinidad to know how much of a problem it is here and yet people carry on with acceptability in their eyes - it makes me sick!
As for this case, only a beast of nature would both rape and sodomize a little girl. What is worst is the brutality of the stabbing. It reminds me a bit of the Sean Luke case. The country made noise for a couple of weeks over it and then everything resumed as 'normal'. All you hear from the government is how many buildings they are building, and nothing on serious issues like CRIME! SAFETY!
