    This is why the police wouldn’t get help from the public. Didn’t he die with a mask on and a gun on his side? Wasn’t it an attempted robbery gone bad? The other two who were with him should come forward!

      At what point are you going to understand that we/you are all the same? The differences in people from each island is miniscule. Your bad mind is what is making them seem different. #outofafrica

    Question?

    Was this guy a visitor or a HIT-MAN?. Did he came to the BVI on a special mission. Some of these murders in this Territory are HIT-MAN mission.

    I don't believe that this was a robbery. I feel it is something deeper than this. Something else involved.

    If you went to a night club or bar to enjoy yourself, why will you walk with a gun.?
