ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – Four persons have been charged by police with the murder of businessman Matthew D. Daly, who was shot to death on September 10, 2020.

Detectives of the Major Crime Team late last night, October 13, 2021, charged four men with the murder after an extensive year-long investigation, the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) stated in a press release this morning.

Charged with murder are Edward Crook, 29, and Dejshon Benjamin, 25, of East End, Micah Ormond, 36, of Sea Cows Bay, and K’Vawn Choucoutou, 26, of Cane Garden Bay.

The RVIPF said inquiries indicate that Daly was driving in the Spring Ghut area on September 10 of last year when he was fatally wounded. His body and vehicle were later discovered in the area.

‘Enormous amount of evidence’ was combed through- Inspector Shortte

Head of the Major Crime Team Detective Inspector Jumo Shortte said that he and his team was forced to explore many lines of inquiry and combed through an enormous amount of evidence before making these arrests. He noted such resolute efforts continue to demonstrate the persistence of officers of the RVIPF to bring murderers to justice.

He appealed to members of the public who may have information regarding any murders in the Territory to come forward.

“There are a number of unsolved murders in the territory which are still active and there are persons out there with information that can help with these investigations. We are willing and waiting to hear from you. We promise to handle your information with the highest level of confidentiality and highly regard the safety and security of all those who provide this information to us,” Inspector Shortte said.

Persons with information that can help to bring justice to any of the unsolved murders within the Territory can contact detectives within the Major Crime Unit directly at 368-5682 or the RVIPF Intelligence Unit at 368-9339.

    Thank you R:VIPD. Work on Mileage case because we are not convince that murder was a crime of passion. Also work on ET and the others. It is good to know that there is justice in thw BVI.

      That was no crime of passion. They use crime of passion to cover up the real deal. But, that will come to the surface real soon. The safest way to help the investigators is to start dropping dimes, that will point the investigators on the path of bringing down the killers that walk among us. I live down SCB, who would have thought there was a killer in our backyard.

    All the the unsolved will be handled. Everything takes time. Thank you to everyone who worked on this case. Trust no one, watch who you call friends. Be aware of who you let in your homes, the enemy will sit with you at your table and break bread with you while plotting how he is going to put the dagger in your back for a few pennies.

    I don't think those murderers kill for fun so you shouldn't really worry.
    Those were some sort of drug deals that went sour and someone cant pay up.
    That's why is good to work for your hard own money.
    I stay working 2 to 3 jobs to survive.

    Sadly those are only the hit men. Was it worth it? I’m sure that the money you received from that job is finish. The master mind(s) are still roaming amongst us but God don’t sleep you might get away with is now but you will have to answer on that great judgment day. It is better to come clean and face your judgement here on earth than to die and punish in hell for eternity.

    in the virgin islands its guilty until proven innocent. no one knows if its all four or two who is actually involved or how they are involved but low and behold everyone is now pointing fingers. its surprising how many people sit and hate on persons and only praying for them to fall.
    the work has just begun on this case and we should all hope that justice is served and those who have been arrested if indeed they are involved then they receive their punishment

    in the meantime be respectful please
