ANN has been reliably informed that the three Grenadians who were caught yesterday in after escaping custody from the South St George Police station in Grenada are now the subject of a murder investigation.
A source close to the investigation said that after escaping custody, the men moved into the Panday Bay, Grenada area and kidnapped two Americans on their yacht to get them to St Vincent and the Grenadines
The Grenada police in a press release on Thursday evening stated that
- Ron Mitchell, 30 years, Sailor of Paradise, St Andrew.
- Trevon Robertson, 19 years, Unemployed of Paradise, St.
Andrew. - Abita Stanislaus, 25 years, Farmer also of Paradise St. Andrew.
These men were charged jointly with one count of Robbery with Violence.
Additionally, Ron Mitchell was charged separately with one count of Rape, three counts of Attempted Rape, two counts of Indecent Assault, and Causing Harm.
All three men were kept in the holding cell at the South St George Police Station and escaped lawful custody, on Sunday the 18th of February 2024.
However, collaboration with our regional counterparts in St Vincent and the Grenadines have led to the recapture of these men by the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadians Police Force yesterday, Wednesday 21st February 2024.
Preliminary information emanating from investigators in St Vincent suggests that the three men made their way to St Vincent via a yacht which was docked in the St. George area. The RGPF is currently working on leads that suggest that the two occupants of the yacht may have been killed in the process.
It is believed that the occupants of the yacht were American citizens.
This investigation is in its infancy stage and the RGPF have dispatched a team of senior investigators and a forensic specialist to St. Vincent in furtherance of this investigation.
Commissioner, Don Mc Kenzie has ordered an immediate investigation into the circumstances of the escaped prisoners.
