And in Barrow's speech, he spoke about murder increasing 40% year to date. Well, that surely triggered Commissioner Chester Williams - who took it as a personal affront,.
Five hours after the address, he fired off his own 500 word press release correcting the information. The Commissioner says that major crimes are down 54%. In regards to murder, the number stood at 66 this time last year, and this year it is at 65. He adds that burglaries are down from 398 to 300.
Additionally, the LOO stated that 26-year-old Daniel Cal was murdered in police custody. The ComPol said that those claims are reckless and desperate since the results of the postmortem have been released, showing that Cal died from acute respiratory distress.
