FORMER chairman of the Police Service Commission (PolSC) Nizam Mohammed has called on the authorities to urgently address tensions between the public and police, flagging increased mistrust in the justice system after the police’s issuing of arrest warrants for Kaia Sealy.

Mohammed said while he did not want to be “alarmist”, there was rising sensitivity in the particular case of Sealy and her common-law husband Joshua Samaroo, who were both shot by police on January 20, 2026 in St Augustine after a chase.

Sealy was paralysed and Samaroo was killed.
