UPDATE: 2 males arrested also for Trumayne J. Daway’s murder
A check moments ago with senior sources within the National Security Council confirmed that the two men are still being interrogated by detectives of the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) but have not been charged.
When pressed by our newsroom as to whether both men are likely to be charged, our source declined to comment further and instead referred us to the Commissioner of Police, Michael B. Mathews, who did not return our calls.
One of the males was picked up this morning in Purcell Estate on Tortola and there was a manhunt for the other but it is unclear where he was captured. Both young males are believed to be friends of Ms Rodriquez, who is from the Dominican Republic and works at a marina.
Our newsroom will keep readers updated on this unfolding story.

It was during the early morning of Wednesday February 28, 2018 that the deceased 'Passion' was found on a Brandywine Bay Beach on Tortola with several gunshots to his body.

Hats off to the Royal Police Force. Great job team!
2017 murder count in the DR was1,198 and does not include those of Haitian or their genocide. Haitians have no identity in the DR so nothing about them is of record.
2017 murder rate in NYC was 290.
We see situations like this all the time just not in this form. The folks that get all the likes on Facebook,but the people that really know them, know that things aren’t as good as they seem. Later on some story comes out about them and everyone is in shock. Stop putting on a show for people who don’t know you, and work on yourselves.
