President orders police probe of seawall shootings

President David Granger has ordered that the police launch an investigation to determine the circumstances under which three robbery suspects were shot and killed along the Kitty seawall, Georgetown two weeks ago.

“The matter has been dealt with at the National Security Committee and it is my instruction that on any occasion where there is the death of a person by unnatural means, that death should be investigated particularly in the defence and police forces”, Granger told reporters yesterday following an event at State House.

The President said that the Commissioner of Police has received clear instructions about the investigation. “…Even if such instructions were not necessary. He should be proceeding with those instructions”, he said.
