Francis who had signed out of witness protection some time prior to May 9, 2013 became a target by suspected sources. He was shot multiple times about his body while hanging out at the Stickett on the ill-fated night.
But while his family grieves and prays for justice at every possible level the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) did not go to sleep and to-date three more have been fingered and taken into custody. The latest to have been charged in connection with the Murder was 39 year old Jefferson Joseph. He was charged with inciting of another in the murder of Cornel Melbourne Francis.
This information was released yesterday November 19, 2014 by the Public Relations Department of the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF).
On October 10, 2014 the RVIPF had announced that two men Kavarne Richards, 28 and Andraes Norford, 23, were arrested in relation of the murder. They had also indicated that Norford is being held in custody by the St. Kitts authorities subject to extradition proceedings for his return to Virgin Islands (VI) to also face murder charges.

Let me congratulate the Commissioner of Police Mr.David Morris; his qualified detectives and the Deputy Commissioner of Police,the latter being a highly qualified detective,known through out the region,as one of the best in the Caribbean and one the best that the BVI has ever seen.
I will continue to pray for the good citizens of Her Majesty in the BVI,to call on God to first protect Her Majesty's Royal Police Officers, for their selfless service in defending the BVI against external and internal aggression.
I have predicted through spiritual encounters, that all who rage terrorist acts against the peaceful citizens of the BVI will be caught,arrested,charged and prosecuted for their crimes against the people of the BVI.
Long existence for the RVIPF: Long live the people of the BVI.
