Christopher Samaroo, the father of Joshua Samaroo, was arrested last night after he had earlier voluntarily visited police stations to clarify comments attributed to him on social media which his attorney said were “twisted” out of context.

Attorney Aaron Lewis, who represents Samaroo, spoke with the Express last night, minutes after his client was held.

He described the arrest as “unfortunate” and said Samaroo was detained under Regulation 11 of the Emergency Powers Regulations.
