ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- Reports of plans to execute a man at Temptation Island 5 on Peter Island have led to the event being postponed today, June 25, 2016.

According to reports, organisors became aware of communication between two persons via Whatsapp messages about the alleged plot.

According to the text messages, some of which were shared with Virgin Islands News Online and social media, the two persons were talking about shooting a man who was expected to be at the Temptation Island 5 event at Ocean 7 Beach Resort on Peter Island.

One of the persons said someone was coming from St Thomas, USVI to carry out the hit and that he “just want a little change.”

The same person said he did not care if anyone else got shot.

The other person then responded that there were going to be lots of persons there and people might “see the play” so he suggested that they fire off shots in the air to get the crowd panicking and during that time they would take care of their target.

The first person in the conversation then said such a plan could result in their target getting away and recommended that “we going just roll and turn it on he and whoever around with he.”

No names were mention in the messages shared with Virgin Islands News Online.

Organisors this afternoon then announced that they were postponing the event “as a result of security concerns which have surfaced amid final preparations.”

Diane Drayton, the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) Information Officer, told this news site that Police are "following up on information circulated through social media."

Organisers of Temptation Island 5 could not be reached up to time of publication.

      I do not think we should be blaming the government for other peoples behaviour. They are not responsible for raising other people children. These children have a mind of their own and they going to do just what they want to do. If these children wanted to work they would work. These children parents cannot control their own children how can the government control them. I do understand that the government is experiencing financial difficulties. These children just cut to be bad.

    The (British) Virgin Islands are getting too ‘hot’ in more way than one. I’m starting to feel like a ‘sitting fowl’ in this place now, just waiting for the slaughter, with all this gun talk. I wonder what our elected officials have to say about all of these frequently becoming occurrences? Why are they so silent about this obvious dysfunction that is now plaguing our way of life. We can’t even go out to have some fun anymore without feeling uneasy. Is this the progress they were campaigning about when we were duped into voting for them?

    First of all... why would you want to shoot someone at a public event in broad daylight? Makes no sense then you won't only be charged for murder of your target but for other people adding more years on your sentence. Im sure if it did happen we would have seen you being big mad that you're going to jail for your stupid mistakes but you set your life up that way to begin with.
    Anyways, I agree with the person up there that you should watch who you're friends with. I really don't want to get shot because I'm around someone. I really don't want to say keep from bad boys and all that stuff because not all of them is trouble but just watch yourself BVI.

    Nothin wrong with the bvi.... Poor education systems breed this type of ignorance in people all over the globe. Your objective is to kill a man wid out bein caught and look how you go about it, im just sayin dem man neither moral nor smart...... A proper moral upbringing would never allow those thoughts and a solid education particularly in males would balance out the lower level of conflict resolution tactics they are using.

    So Much Trouble In The World"

    So much trouble in the world
    So much trouble in the world

    Bless my eyes this morning
    Jah sun is on the rise once again
    The way earthly thin's are goin'
    Anything can happen.

    You see men sailing on their ego trip,
    Blast off on their spaceship,
    Million miles from reality:
    No care for you, no care for me.

    So much trouble in the world;
    So much trouble in the world.
    All you got to do: give a little (give a little),
    Give a little (give a little), give a little (give a little)!
    One more time, ye-ah! (give a little) Ye-ah! (give a little)
    Ye-ah! (give a little) Yeah!

    So you think you've found the solution,
    But it's just another illusion!
    (So before you check out this tide),
    Don't leave another cornerstone
    Standing there behind, eh-eh-eh-eh!
    We've got to face the day;
    (Ooh) Ooh-wee, come what may:
    We the street people talkin',
    Yeah, we the people strugglin'.

    Now they sitting on a time bomb; (Bomb-bomb-bomb! Bomb-bomb-bomb!)
    Now I know the time has come: (Bomb-bomb-bomb! Bomb-bomb-bomb!)
    What goes on up is coming on down, (Bomb-bomb-bomb! Bomb-bomb-bomb!)
    Goes around and comes around. (Bomb-bomb-bomb! Bomb-bomb-bomb!)

    So much trouble in the world;
    So much trouble in the world;
    So much trouble in the world.
    There is so much trouble (so much trouble in the world);
    There is so much trouble;
    There is so much trouble (so much in the world);
    There is so much trouble;
    There is so much trouble in the world (so much trouble in the world);
    There is (so much in the world);
    (So much trouble in the world)
