NAZMA'S 'SPECIAL' REPORT

The Express special publications editor Nazma Muller gave a heart wrenching story of a young Colombian woman who had allegedly been sold into prostitution (unknowingly) by her mother to someone who brought her to Trinidad (Sunday Express, http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl/article?id=161247938).

But Nazma, a few questions jump out at us as we read the story.
If Denyse Renne (you spelt it Denise) had already spoken with the young woman and called her mother, why were you brought in to write that straightforward story?
Then you said she spoke quickly and you could only piece together parts of the story by repeatedly asking questions. Your sister station TV6 has a reporter with a very heavy Spanish accent, Yolanda Morales Carvalho. Didn't anyone think to ask her to translate?

Then you said her 14 year old sister was impregnated by a Rastaman, and that she spoke better English. She told you this? Why leave us to wonder? And they came to Trinidad together but the sister got someone to take her back to Colombia without "Lucinda"? Hmmm.

You wrote, "I had no idea how to get her back to her family in Colombia without documents. First I called the Venezuelan Embassy,...". Why did you call the Venezuelan Embassy first? If you knew the Colombian Embassy had been closed down you should have said that first, then moved on to the Venezuelans.

What about the "house" where she was staying? Are the police following any leads? What about the people who brought her here?
Too many unplugged holes in this story.
