Death of Frandie Cover-up? Urine sample reportedly vanishes, boat re-sprayed
The boat Blue Bayou, belonging to Andrew Morrell which will be used as part of the evidence, has been repaired and re-sprayed over at a boatyard in Nanny Cay and released to its owner according to information obtained from sources familiar with the situation.
It is unclear now why the boat was released to Mr Morrell, if the evidence of the boat has already been fully documented or why the vessel was not kept in police custody until the investigation was concluded.
“A jury may have to rely on still photos,” a senior lawyer told our newsroom on condition of anonymity.
Where is the urine sample?
It is also our newsroom's understanding that Mr Morrell’s urine sample taken hours after the accident by the Dr. D Orlando Smith Hospital has reportedly disappeared. Officials of the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) are tight-lipped as to who took the urine sample at the hospital lab and where it was stored.
There are also unconfirmed reports that after the accident, Mr. Morrell wanted to speak to two high-ranking UK nationals, the Police Commissioner and the Governor, however, our news centre could not independently verify these claims.
Two legal systems?
Since Martin’s death, there has been public and social media pressure over the circumstances surrounding the boat accident that occurred at night, and whether the VI legal system is colour blind.
It was six months later (April 13, 2022) that the Director of Public Prosecution announced that Mr. Morrell has been charged with Manslaughter, Causing Serious Injury to a Person while on Board a Vessel; and Failing to Render Assistance after a Collision.

Of course it is tragic that this good man died and others were injured , however that does not automatically make the other party guilty. The facts will come out. Regardless of the cause of the accident , leaving the scene is inexcusable even though they had their own injuries aboard their own vessel.
commissioner of police white
Governor of this territory white
accuse is white
parents white
victim black !!!!!
Money run thing up in modern day bvi
If the shoe was on the other foot folks like Cindy will be all over radio asking to boycott the business
But then again, all of those (including myself) who don’t know all the facts should sit down and keep quiet, until the facts are presented in a court of law (as opposed to the court of rumor, gossip, social media and public opinion).
I rest my case.
Tola prison only for blacks..
At the end of the day. This was a hit and run. Hmmmmm???
the person that disclosed the information which speaks to the missing evidence in big trouble and the commissioner will deal with him personally
nothing coming out of this matter unless civil action is taken on behalf of the black guy
On Easter Sunday, let’s remember words of Christ, “judge not...” and “you who are without sin cast the first stone” and “go siddown”
Reminds me of the incident in the USVI WHERE the white man killed his girlfriend and refused the police and coast guard access to his vessel. Next thing we read that he was down st Lucia with the same boat, repaired and on the market. Ayo think these *$^&* w*** people easy?
This one thing I know you can't tamper with God who reveals the hidden secrets of man. Old people say run till daylight catch you.
In usa the police must go to the D.A with a file and the DA decides on charges etc..
In bvi it is the police under the police Act to investigate and charge and file complaints.
The dpp take over the role of the police..
