Two stake­hold­ers yes­ter­day ques­tioned the T&T Po­lice Ser­vice’s (TTPS) han­dling of the Joshua Sama­roo case and again called for the full use of body cam­eras by po­lice dur­ing their op­er­a­tional du­ties.

Speak­ing on CNC3’s The Morn­ing Brew, for­mer po­lice com­mis­sion­er Gary Grif­fith first clar­i­fied that the sit­u­a­tion was not about Ka­ia Sealy ac­tu­al­ly shoot­ing Sama­roo, but rather her al­leged ac­tion/s which re­port­ed­ly forced the po­lice to re­act as they did and which led to the death of Sama­roo.

Grif­fith said, “This is the al­le­ga­tion that po­lice of­fi­cers were in­volved in armed con­flict with her and she was ac­tu­al­ly fir­ing at po­lice of­fi­cers, and po­lice, in their rea­son to de­fend them­selves, re­turned fire and by Mr Sama­roo be­ing killed, she is now be­ing charged.”
