She questioned why, if investigators possess evidence of such a conspiracy, no criminal charges have been laid.
During an Opposition media briefing yesterday, Beckles said, “If you have evidence of a conspiracy to murder, you are simply going to use the State of Emergency?
Responding to questions about references in the leaked audio to Opposition MP Stuart Young by Sabga and claims by Hadeed that they were supporters of the PNM, Beckles cautioned against drawing conclusions simply because a person’s name appeared in a conversation.
She said Young’s name being mentioned should not be viewed as evidence of wrongdoing, saying anyone’s name could be mentioned in a conversation.
She also expressed concern over what she described as attempts to inject race into the public discourse surrounding the leaked audio recording.
