Blood covered man a prime suspect in Brady Ghut murder
The accused, Virgin Islander Dijion Hodge, a 27-years-old resident of East End Tortola was reportedly taken into custody on the same day Police found Tyrone Thomas dead in his vehicle at Brady Ghut along with an injured female.
Hodge is facing charges for possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply another, possession of an unlicensed firearm and unlawful possession of explosives.
According to facts, when officers responded to the crime scene, Hodge was spotted in bushes covered in blood, a short distance from where Thomas’ dead body and the vehicle was discovered.
Suspicious activity
Acting on Hodge’s suspicious actions at the time, Investigating Officers attempted to execute a search of his home but as he continued to act suspiciously and refused to grant permission for the search, they secured an official warrant.
It was at that time the Officers conducted the search, discovering a large quantity (over $2ML) of cocaine concealed in a bloody black bag, seven rounds of ammunition and a .40 calibre pistol all stashed in a clump of bushes outside the home.
According to Police reports, when asked about the illegal items, Hodge told the investigating officers that they belonged to Thomas, which he Hodge took and hid in the bushes outside the house after Thomas was shot and killed. The two were said to be business partners operating a car rental service.
Police records further show that Hodge confessed to being a drug dealer and that he was in the rear of Thomas’ vehicle that ill-fated night.
While remanded to prison for the firearm and possession of drugs, Police are still investigating Hodges’ involvement in the shooting to death of Thomas and the attempted murder of the female.

The surviving female knows everything. She can clear up this entire investigation whether she is afraid of not because they tried to kill her too. I would make arrangement with the governor to insure my safe passage out of here after she testifies. This is the only way to solve this heinous crime.
