WPC Quianna Mahabir remains hospitalised as her health continues to improve daily. Senior officials of the T&T Police Service yesterday said Mahabir's progress has been slow yet steady. They encouraged her to keep up the fight to live. Mahabir, 30, was shot multiple times during a suspected carjacking outside her home at Hydraulic Road, Kelly Village, Caroni, around 1.35 am on October 22. Police said Mahabir, who is assigned to the TTPS Band as a drummer, was shot several times during the incident. Guardian Media was told by senior officers that while Mahabir was no longer under the care of officials of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex (EWMSC), Mt Hope, she had remained on the ward as she continued to receive specialist attention. Describing Mahabir’s progress as remarkable, a senior officer said it was a positive sign as “she was starting to remember more things.” He admitted, however, that “she doesn’t remember the incident, but had started to recognise people.” Mahabir reportedly suffered injuries to her left eye, while her full memory was said to be “foggy” as well. Asked about the level of support the TTPS was providing to her and her family at this time, the official said, “The support for them has been overwhelming. The family has access to transport to go anywhere. All the social services are at their disposal, as all arms of the TTPS are giving that support to them at this time.” Regarding the investigation, a senior official in the Central Division said while no arrests have as yet been laid, several suspects had been questioned in relation to the incident. The officer assured, “Arrests are imminent.” Mahabir had been part of an all-female contingent representing the TTPS Band that returned to the country on October 22, following a 12-day music tour of the Bahamas and New Jersey. - Anna-Lisa Paul
