ACTING Police Commissioner Junior Benjamin is urging the public to report any signs of domestic violence, as he stressed the importance of proactive policing, particularly when it comes to following up on protection orders.

His comments come in the wake of a deadly domestic dispute on May 30 in Mayaro, which resulted in the death of a man and injuries to his wife and son.

Benjamin spoke to Newsday via phone on June 1 and confirmed the matter remained under investigation. He referenced ongoing police efforts, particularly through the Victim and Witness Support Unit, and stressed the need for stronger community engagement and early intervention to prevent similar tragedies.
