Ag Commissioner of Police McDonald Jacob, has revealed that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Roger Gaspard has advised the officers investigating the police-involved killings of three young men in Port-of-Spain to gather additional information before returning to him.
In an interview with the Guardian, Jacobs said: “The investigator and team went to the office of the DPP on Friday. They were given further directions on additional things to do. The DPP works with the investigators. Sometime in the latter part of next week, they have to return again to the DPP.”
He said the file was reviewed by the DPP together with the investigators.
“A file is where you have all the statements taken, with different persons and interviews. All of this makes up the file. However, a report is just a single document. To put it in simple terms, the investigations are continuing,” he added.
This comes after the Police Complaints Authority (PCA) interviewed one of the survivors of the incident a few days ago. The youngest survivor, a 15-year-old, gave a report to the PCA with his parents and attorney Om Lalla present.
