Police killed a man and his girlfriend in Bamboo Village, less than 12 hours after Police Complaints Authority Director David West described the increase in police shootings this year as disturbing.

At around 4.50am on March 21, police from the Anti-Corruption Unit went to a two-storey house with apartments at Samaroo Trace, Bamboo No 3, as part of their investigation into allegations of extortion.

Police said they entered the compound and someone in a ground floor apartment began shooting at them.
