The TTPS says while there is still no clear motive for the murder of PC Ravindra Harrinarine, there is nothing at this time to indicate that it is linked to his role as a police officer.

PC Harrinarine was shot dead last night at Bassie Street in Spring Village, Valsayn.

The TTPS says the officer used his gun after three suspects opened fire on him as he stood next to his vehicle.

At the time, he was in the company of a woman who remains unidentified.

In addition to extending condolences, Police Commissioner Erla Christopher also assures that the TTPS is “very engaged” in addressing the high rate of homicides experienced so far in January 2024.

She says stringent measures have been implemented to bring an immediate end to this escalation.

According to the Top Cop, an analysis shows that most of the murders committed have been either gang or drug related.

As such, she says the TTPS is actively targeting gang leaders and their members and will continue to do so to “achieve an end to these senseless killings.”
