3 held for prison officer's murder

Three men who are in their early 20s, who were detained last Friday in connection with the murder of prison officer Glenford Gardener, remain in police custody.

The suspects, who are from Bagatelle, are also being questioned about other criminal incidents in Western Division.

At about 7.25 pm last week Thursday, Gardener, 44, was walking outside his home when a white Toyota Corolla car pulled alongside and the occupants started shooting.

Gardener died on the spot.

On Monday, the Maximum Security section of the Golden Grove Prison in Arouca was on lockdown owing to the absence of some prison officers. Prisoners were not given any airing time that day.
