Murder accused Vernon Bernard attempts suicide
Bernard aka ‘Bones’ reportedly attempted to use a shirt to hang himself. He had earlier made an appearance at the Magistrate’s Court held at the Road Town Police Station and was remanded on the charges of Murder, Possession of Firearm, and Taking a Conveyance (vehicle).
Unconfirmed reports are that Bernard was heard threatening to commit suicide prior to attempting to carry out the act.
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) confirmed the alleged incident.
“According to the sergeant in charge at the time, an attempt was made by Bernard to take his own life,” Police Information Officer Diane L. Drayton told our newsroom.
Bernard and 21 year old Maybelline Rodriquez were charged with the murder of Mr Daway, information first and accurately broke by our newsroom at the weekend.
The duo, along with Rafael Harrigan, 27, who was charged for Possession of Firearm and Taking a Conveyance, are slated to make their next court appearance on Friday May 25, 2018.
Daway, 26, was found unresponsive in the driver’s seat of a vehicle with several bullet holes on the eastern side of Brandywine Bay on Wednesday, February 28, 2018, a story also first reported on by this news site.

Everyone has now found the courage to finally sit down and talk sh*t about people on the local news site about who take life and who commit what so ever crime but y'all r real cowards Hiding behind the face of the internet. And then ayo sitting down blaming people's parents for the choices there kids have made. Y'all need to stop judging people's parents I'm sure some of you have children and your children are proberly criminals themselves. All the choices that bones has made are his decisions and I'm sick of hearing this dominican thing the man grew up here in school everything. He is one of us raised right here in the BVI so r u going to look at BVI different now?
We need to guide our thoughts as they are a reflection of who we are.
Bones doing that to escape he have a plan. They need to tsp his family phone. The m****** was talking about getting him off the island. That suicide is just a distraction for him to escspe. The police needs to be on guard with him cause he is going to destroy a lot of them in his escape..
Do you know how many other gangster types and regular angry civilians walking on the streets now waiting for these people to get out... and if they accomplish what they intend to Do most of y'all would say that these 3 people deserved it, giving them- the perpetrators leeway.. open your eyes, everyone has the potential to harm another person it is up to us to decide whether or not we should act on it... a murderer is nothing but a hateful, irrational thinking civilian who's allowed negativity to consume them.. another human being... the streets will never be free of criminals as long as people possess hate in their hearts and believe that they should take matters into their own hands... some of you in the comment section are so angry so hateful that you think harming these three is what justice is about but it's not...
If we all Let the system handle this the war would stop and no one else would die... but nobody's gonna do that...
I'm waiting to see who else is gonna go 6 feet under.
