Police Commissioner Erla Harewood-Christopher is concerned by reports that the suspects in yesterday’s quadruple murder in Mayaro were impersonating police officers.
In a statement to media earlier today (Tuesday) the top CoP condemned the brutal attack.
Reports state that a group, including a woman and a one-year-old boy, were at a campsite in Bristol Village when six suspects dressed in police gear entered.
The assailants ordered four men to lie face down and shot them.
Harewood-Christopher said the matter is being thoroughly investigated.
She said: “This incident is yet another brazen action of the criminals and challenge we face in combating violent crime on an almost daily basis, a clear motive for this incident has not as yet been ascertained, of particular concern to us also are reports that the perpetrators of this incident impersonated police officers by utilising blue lights and uniforms resembling that of the TTPS”.
Harewood-Christopher indicated that a multi-agency approach to the investigation has been adopted. She says she also intends to make a breakthrough in the shortest possible time.
