Just surrender

MANDEVILLE, Manchester — Against the backdrop of last week’s fatal shooting of Kimani Bindloss, a man who police say challenged them in a gunfight in Knockpatrick, head of the Manchester police Deputy Superintendent Odean Dennis is reassuring civilians that they won’t be harmed if they comply and surrender peacefully to cops.

“I want to also assure both law-abiding citizens and others that despite the noise surrounding other incidents in the parish of late, our team remains committed to bringing perpetrators to justice. Therefore, where a suspect refrains from doing anything to jeopardise the lives of my men [and women], no harm will come to them as was the case in this instance where a weapon was seized without incident and two persons will now have their day in court,” he said in an audio release Sunday evening.
