BASSETERRE, St.Kitts (Wednesday 18th July 2018)-Commissioner of Police Ian Queeley, during today’s Prime Minister’s press conference told reporters that they have received the CCTV footage from the surrounding areas and are working with the mechanic who is in the process of examining the bike that Johnson operated and the government owned vehicle that was involved in the alleged chase.

“I’m happy to say that all the measures that we outlined would be taking place in the investigation. The CCTV footage, as we said, have been reviewed; the independent mechanic and lead Inspector has analyzed both the motor cycle and the vehicle. The team to investigate the accident, headed by senior police officer is in place,” explained Queeley.
Notably, although the COP revealed that the footage from the CCTV has been reviewed he is still appealing for eyewitnesses to come forward.

The incident sparked public demonstrations with some calling for an independent investigation.

There are claims that Johnson was not handled professionally by the medical team that were on the scene leaving many to question the circumstances that led to his untimely demise.

Two Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) have since been suspended pending the findings of the investigations being carried out by the Ministry of Health.
