Maxwelo Chancellor, whose son Matthew, 21, was brutally gunned down by a shotgun-toting bandit in Tabaquite on February 15, says the police’s decision to reopen the Brasso Police Station makes him feel Matthew’s death was not in vain.

Speaking with the media on February 17 after identifying his son’s body at the Forensic Science Centre in St James, he made a public appeal to the police to reopen the station.

Hours later, acting Commissioner of Police (CoP) Junior Benjamin, at a police media briefing, announced the station will be reopened next week.
