The po­lice of­fi­cer in­volved in the shoot­ing death of his col­league, Ja­mal Charles, re­mains in po­lice cus­tody.

The of­fi­cer, who is be­ing rep­re­sent­ed by at­tor­neys Stef­fon Boodooram and Nala Poodan, has been in cus­tody since Fri­day af­ter he was dis­charged from the hos­pi­tal.

Guardian Me­dia un­der­stands that the of­fi­cer has not giv­en the po­lice a state­ment and is as­sist­ing with the in­ves­ti­ga­tions. Po­lice are ex­pect­ed to ap­proach the of­fice of the Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions lat­er this week for ad­vice on how to pro­ceed.
