As police continue interrogating six police officers in connection with the shooting deaths of three young people from Moruga in July, a seventh officer has surrendered.
Media reports say the officer, who is a sergeant, gave himself up late Friday afternoon at the Homicide Bureau of Investigations office at Coffee Street, San Fernando. He was accompanied by his lawyer.
Police are continuing to question him and the six others arrested last week. So far the director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has not determined if the officers should be charged with murder.
All of the officers are implicated in the killing of Abigail Johnson, Allana Duncan and Kerron "Fingers" Eccles.

At the time of the killing police claimed that they fired on the trio after they opened fire on the police officers. However eyewitnesses contradicted that, stating no one fire on the police.
The killings sparked several days of fiery protests in the Moruga area, causing Commissioner of Police Dwayne Gibbs to visit the area to meet with relatives of the victims.
The police officers claimed the three opened fire on them as they attempted to intercept the car they were travelling in at the corner of Poui Trace and Rochard Road, Barrackpore.
