The rel­a­tives of a Cunu­pia man who was killed by po­lice are ques­tion­ing the cir­cum­stances un­der which he was shot, as they claim he act­ed as a care­tak­er for the prop­er­ty and was not armed at the time of his death.

Ac­cord­ing to an of­fi­cial T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) me­dia re­lease yes­ter­day, Ab­dul­lah Joseph, 34, was shot and killed by of­fi­cers of the Cen­tral Di­vi­sion af­ter of­fi­cers re­spond­ed to a re­port of a “man on premis­es” at an undis­closed ad­dress in Cunu­pia.

The of­fi­cers re­port­ed that af­ter iden­ti­fy­ing them­selves, they en­tered the prop­er­ty where they found the man with a gun whom they said “en­gaged them.” The of­fi­cers shot and killed the man.
