      @hmmmm| wake up and realise the chap was arrested in the month of December however the incident happened in May

      The boating incident must be investigated first before an arrest could be made if necessary


      that it is called an accident as a posed to a person blatantly killing another person

    What is the need for the constant speeding on this 2x4 island that can be covered in less than an hour from East to West.

    If Tortola had the stretch of road or stretch of highway that is on the outside, they would be picking up bodies everyday from speeding in Tortola. Slow the hell down, what is the damn rush on a 2x4 hilly Island surrounded by water.
