Statement from Her Excellency the Governor:
In light of the fatal shooting that occurred in Georgetown on Friday evening (11), the Governor, the Premier and MLAs received a briefing from the Acting Police Commissioner this morning. The briefing gave an update on the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service’s response to the recent murders and the investigations, which are continuing.
After the briefing, the Governor said:
“It is important for the Premier, Members of the LA and me to hear how the RCIPS are responding to the recent outbreak of violent criminal acts and for the Acting Commissioner to hear MLAs express the concerns of their constituents. I will be discussing with the Acting Commissioner the approach the police will be taking to prevent any reprisals.”
Acting Police Commissioner Stephen Brougham also addressed Members of the Legislative Assembly this morning at the invitation of the Premier.
