POLICE OFFICER KILLED

The Police Service is mourning the loss of one of its own, an officer described by his colleagues as "a good man".


Police Constable Dale Mayers who was attached to the Arima Police station was killed by a man armed with a gun who walked into a bar where the officer was liming with his wife and a friend and reportedly announced a hold-up, before opening fire on the officer.


The officer returned fire but his injuries were fatal.
