Three men, in­clud­ing mu­nic­i­pal po­lice of­fi­cer Ji­van Coop­er, have been charged with the mur­der of act­ing Cpl Anus­ka Ever­s­ley at the San Fer­nan­do Mu­nic­i­pal Po­lice Sta­tion on Sun­day.

Con­firm­ing this in a voice note to the me­dia yes­ter­day, Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice (CoP) Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro said in­ves­ti­ga­tors had been giv­en the go-ahead to lay the charges against the trio by Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions (DPP) Roger Gas­pard.

Al­though of­fi­cers were di­rect­ed by Gas­pard to prof­fer charges against Coop­er, 28, on Tues­day, fresh ev­i­dence re­quir­ing fur­ther in­ves­ti­ga­tion de­layed that process.
