  • DPP to receive files on controversial shootings

    Two files on recent controversial shootings involving the police should reach the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) by Thursday.

    This is in keeping with a pronouncement by National Security Minister Derrick Smith a week ago.

    The cases involve the shooting of a young pregnant woman in St. Thomas and the death of a teenager in Grants Pen, St. Andrew.

    Last week, Mr. Smith said ballistics tests had been completed for the files to be submitted.

    During a protest in Yallahs, St. Thomas in September, 19-year-old Tian Wolfe, who was two months pregnant, was allegedly hit by a bullet from a policeman's gun.

    On September 28, 19-year-old Aundre Thomas was shot during a police operation in Grants Pen.

    The initial police report stated that he was killed in a shoot-out.

    However, his relatives say he was killed in cold blood by the police.
