Police Recover Slain Woman Constable’s Firearm

The police have recov­ered the ser­vice weapon of slain Police Constable Crystal Thomas, who was shot and killed last night by gunmen.

This was con­firmed a short while ago by the head of the Major Investigation Task Force, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Dean Taylor.

Taylor, how­ev­er, declined to say where the firearm was recov­ered, stat­ing that he did not want to jeop­ar­dise the fast-mov­ing probe.

This is the sec­ond fire­man recov­ered in rela­tion to the attack on Constable Thomas.

Both firearms will be sent to the gov­ern­ment foren­sic lab­o­ra­to­ry for testing.

Meanwhile, National Security Minister Peter Bunting is cur­rent­ly at the Denham Town Police Station meet­ing with mem­bers of the senior man­age­ment team, includ­ing head of the West Kingston Police Division SSP Cornwall ‘Bigga’ Ford.
