Acting Commissioner of Police (CoP) Junior Benjamin said despite the two homicides on Carnival Monday and Tuesday, the Carnival period was generally safe. He said the police continued to work on making the safety and security of citizens its highest priority.
Benjamin was speaking at a media conference at the Police Administration Building, Edward and Sackville Streets on March 5.
“We had at least two homicides during the Carnival period. Because of the deployment of our officers and the fact they were at almost every corner, the suspects in both homicides were apprehended. The weapons they used were also seized. We are investigating these situations and will bring these people before a court of competent jurisdiction to answer the necessary charges.”
