Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
“That is not something that is going to be decided by the police. But I can tell you from a legal standpoint looking at section thirty of the criminal court, which deals with just abuse of force and harm, it says that a person may use force even to the extreme necessity to kill in certain circumstances. And those circumstances include where it is perceived that one is going to cause grievous by the harm to another or. Even greater than that. And the force use can be either in defense of yourself or another person concern situation that confront those persons on board, that flight where the lives of fourteen of fifteen other persons were in danger by a knife-wielding man who had injured three persons on board that flight. It would be reasonable to say that he tforce use was justified. And so what we are going to do is put the file together and we send to the DPP for final determination.”
