Nyron F. Ollivierre’s mom, sister call for swifter Police action
The family said their main concern at the moment is having the pathologist brought in then releasing the body so they can have it taken to Trinidad for burial. “That’s our main issue right now,” said the family member.
Ollivierre’s lifeless body was discovered on September 12, 2014 following reports of gun shots in the Horsepath community. One of the immediate family members who has connections with this news site did confirm his identity with us allowing this news site to share his name and other details ahead of the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) Public Relations Press Release.
Word had gotten around to the family by calls from others. A family member said that after receiving word she went to the RVIPF and identified herself and was only told that they were sure it was Ollivierre who was killed.
“They said right now they can’t give me any information, as far they know the individual is dead and they take my name my number, my sister was there, they took her name and number and that was that. Up to this day the only time they called my phone was to arrange to meet the family and that was it… no other information,” she said.
“Nobody has identified the body, nobody has given us any information more than from what it is the girlfriend is saying,” she added.
Two other immediate family members flew to the Territory two days following, his mother and a sister. Today nine days after their tears are on the RVIPF seeking some level of closure as they feel that they are not being afforded their legal right to see the body.
“It’s his mother, his sister, not a cousin, not a girlfriend; his mother… all she needs is closure to some level while justice is pursued to find out who did this to her child. Let us see him, do what you have to do with consideration for his loved ones with more haste, they travel all the way, it’s costly, what if they were to be staying in a hotel?” said one of the immediate family.
“The officer said, I guess he is the officer leading in the investigations, said that due to the forensic and evidence and different things in reference to the body they cannot open it, that’s what they told us. They told it can take as long as up until October for the pathologist to get here. Now tell me, these things do really happen!” lamented the family.
As the days roll by Ollivierre’s mother especially is growing worse health wise as her level of grief is being extended. Her condition up to last evening was one of extreme sorrow as she could not even speak. “They telling us that they have to get court order and other things first before they could even send for the pathologist, this is the BVI; they boasting all the time that they have money, Financial Services this and Financial Services that, why we should wait weeks unending just to get a postmortem done through the government system? This is not right,” said the woman in a very emotional state.
“This is the kind of thing I want the outside world to know about because it’s so wrong to know that as they would say here is so full of money and we can’t get things done on a day-to-day basis and prompt, not even to identify the body,” she stressed.
They said that the deceased came to the Territory on a work permit less than a year now and the only information they able to get to some extent came from his girlfriend. “We just sitting here now waiting, we don’t know anything, we not hearing anything, we can’t see anything we just sitting her waiting, it’s frustrating, its costly and most of all its painful,” said the family.

My sincere condolences to both of these ladies. What a horrible situation. Surely somebody in the police department or in government or at the Governor's office has a heart and can help them?
Why on Earth is it taking so long? It's not right.
Tortola is full of s..t if u ask me them is d worst set of ppl too deal with. God dnt sleep.
Come on BVI have a conscience people are grieving... To the relevant authorities - time to come out of your shells Turtles &do something... Wake up &smell the sh**
minute homicide should send one of their many pathologist to do what is necessary for their Trini victim. Give a lil help to Tola. We help them plenty but to lend a hand in return they never do. Karma is what is wrong with places like Trinidad.,,,dem a tek tek tek an kil kill is all dem know.
And Jaigan stop being a bhaigan!!! If it were your family you would be singing a different tune.
Why doesn't Trinidad whose murder rate ranks as the world.s highest step in and assist with a pathologist or whatever. The BVI is not readily equipped for homicides and the forensics. We get that from elsewhere when necessary and when they could schedule us. Homicide is not one of our cultural practices so either be patient or give us permission to release the body end the follow ups such as forensics and investigation or wait until it is our turn for a pathologist or appeal to your well practiced and equipped homicidal country for assistance.
That is probably why BVI is so backward and lacking basic amenities. People in BVI if you do NOT stand for something you will fall for anything just like Dulcina here.
What Tortola really equipped for Dulcina?
So far its only the police and Dulcina making noise and prancing around with a set of lame excuses.
Have a heart BVI...
U are talking a senseless bag of mess.
The real tragedy here is you opening your mouth without even finding out about the financial situation of these people... or is it that in Tortola money grows on trees?
Mr Comment you sound like the mascot for the BVI government full of crap... Try and blog for better services nuh, instead of supporting these archaic practices maintained by the BVI...
And by the way any one ,any where is free to hire a pathologist even in conjunction with the Gov pathologist. They are not compelled to wait on "for free". "For free is a habit to some of us and we assume a God given right but paying your way gives u rights to make demands. Trinidad could give financial support or one ofthe Trini Organization here in the BVI, unless they too are simply a waste.
Dulcina,maybe it is your custom to prance around and make noise when there is a death in your family but this is NOT the case with the relatives of the deceased, Mr Nyron Ollivierre.
That family is not there on vacation so they have no time to be prancing around- a loved one is dead. People who have feelings mourn at these times. You seem to be missing the whole point which is the slow way that things are being done in BVI. Injustice has been done to that family. Would you like to be in their position Dulcina?
THE WAY THINGS ARE IN BVI DOES NOT MEAN IT IS RIGHT!!!--- The process is daunting for anyone in that situation.
And since you seem to have a plaster for every sore (excuses) please do let the whole world know what is BVI equipped to handle in these instances?
It is ridiculous,its not jus his mom and sis grieving am sure their are other family @ home in Trini mourning and grieving for the deceased. Please RVIPF u all need to do something to assist the family and in a swifter manner look how many days gone and these ppl can get the lifeless body of their love one. Could the person or persons who is in authority of Tortola please think of the situation,these family members may be abandon their jobs to come in your Island but not for so long stay.People have to return to other family members,work,business and u all not financially nor physically maintaining these ppl. Its long over due and the mom of the decease is not well are u all waiting for the f**king mom to die with grieve. Come on give the the damn ppl their lifeless body of their love one matters not and u all should compensate d mom for d long wait and money that spending and their blasted airfare too. D ppl have a life sh.t man.
.... In the words of a wise composer "Who feels it knows..."
BVI you can do much better
THE WHOLE WAITING PROCESS IS WRONG FOR ANYBODY WHO HAS TO DEAL WITH IT
YOU WOULD NOT LIKE TO BE IN THAT SITUATION
BVI NEEDS TO PUT A LOT OF THINGS IN PLACE AND YOU ALL NEED TO HAVE SOME GUTS AND STAND UP FOR BETTER SERVICES.
... THAT IS ALL... PLAIN AND SIMPLE DOC.. DEMAND WHAT IS RIGHT FROM THE GOVERNMENT- IT IS YOUR RIGHT... SMH
what the hell (business interest) stated on another news headline have to do with the mother seeing her son. they here to identify and take his body home….it looks like Nyron Ollivierre committed his own murder and they have him in custody waiting for the trial….shame on BVI..shame shame shame…..
REPLY
Really...
Tortola come on!
One of those free pathologist to which u refer could be placed on a Gov sponsored airline and be in the morgue in the Vi attending to their fellow Trinidadian, if not for the sake of Mr O,, then as a courtesy to the VI from whom they enjoy a boost to their economy.
It is amazing how these inconsequential citizens of other lame duck countries arrive here and become all demanding of the impossible...You cannot accomplish much with that kind off misdirected and misused negative energy.
If the BVI was a place needing and stocking pathologist it would be cursed and avoided just like Trinidad.
The O family will also be depending on this country that you have castigated, for justice. How nearsighted to be so forward with the mudslinging. It will have the last say so keep that in mind and I wish them luck.
Are u talking about Trinidad,the land of the hummingbird and homicides?
Racism in Trinidad is no make believe nor it is a secret You trying to be something you are not sweetie. Betterment is the last thing you should be dictating to the VI. You have to not be talking about Trinidad.
For the wrongly informed the government of T&T was never asked assistant and they just won't land a forensic pathologist on your soil, there is something called protocol and sovereign state .The Government of the B.V.I has outsourced it's own Pathologist so stop the pettiness.
Finally T&T has a population of 1,223,916 persons as in any developed or developing country crime is prevalent it's unfortunate but true and no island is immune.
Did T/T lose its humanity because of poverty and social break down or is the callous behaviour a result of the lack of humanity?
Which came first?
It is just the way it is. Frustrating and mindboggling but be at peace because the giver
will always have and will continue to be blessed. Parasites have a short life span and is cursed.
May God continue to bless these Islands.
The BVI has the option of accepting and Mr O,s family would feel validated as human beings of some value.
