At a press conference held in the wake of the murder of Janae Minors, 37, a mother of two, the Police Commissioner, Darrin Simons, was asked about the potential use of emergency powers.

He said: “[The Emergency Powers Act] has not been engaged. When we look at the total range of options that we could deploy, certainly that will be part of the discussion.
