Teen remanded on aggravated burglary charge

ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – Tyrell Samuel, 18, was denied bail when he appeared before the Magistrate’s court on charges of aggravated burglary and criminal damage today, November 7, 2013.

Samuel, a resident of Kingstown, was not required to offer a plea and reportedly received bail on a similar matter which he had pleaded guilty to weeks after the alleged burglary took place.

He is represented by attorney Stephen Daniels.

The Virtual Complainant (VC) made a report to police on September 9, 2013 which stated that he and his girlfriend were at home when he heard a knock and looked outside to ascertain who was there.

He reportedly saw two individuals standing on his porch, both wearing masks and he observed that one had an object believed to be a gun.

Then one of the persons outside attempted to open the door but it was locked so they attempted to kick the door which became damaged. The VC subsequently heard an explosion which sounded like a gunshot.

Officers later arrived at the home and removed evidence, including a spent shell. They also lifted fingerprints.

The defendant was later met at the Road Town Police Station and informed of the report by the VC and cautioned but reportedly made no reply. He was then arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary.

The following day an interview was conducted under caution where he allegedly denied the allegations and said he had never been to the residence of the VC.

The defendant was then formally charged for aggravated burglary. It was further noted that prints found at the scene allegedly matched those of the defendant.

Samuel will return to court on December 13, 2014.

    Why are these yound boys doing these things to themselves and others. I know this young man from small and he was such a sweet little thing. In the afternoon times they go and help their mother clean the different offices. I am so surprised to see him in this situation. We need some divine intervention.

    Wait, that's baby?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? no man WTH I seeing here. Oh my lord, that looks nothing like the baby I know & remember. I know him from when he was bout 2yrs old & I watch him grow up with his 2 older brothes & sister but I notice after he got older & even while he was still in primary school he started to stray bad. Many days I would see him going to school all 10 o'clock with 1 book & it progress worse when he got to high school cause then he dropped out & practically everyday I would see him hanging out by the car rental with a set of boys doing nothing with themselves. After he got shot I never saw him again until bout a yr later I glimpse him just by chance walking the road. I say he sort out himself & was behaving but lord look what happen here. I'm just sad & disappointed to see him stray on the path he end up on. Father God I pray for devine intervention for our children, the devil out to seek and destroy and my gosh he's got a strong hold on many.
