RVIPF pleads with public to help solve October 2018 murders
“All information will be treated with discretion and confidentiality will be assured,” a press release from the RVIPF on October 31, 2019 noted.
The RVIPF said they are at the moment interested in the murder cases of Kareem Ettienne and Tyrone Thomas as well as the attempted murder of Idrecia Richards.
The first murder was that of Thomas who was heading home with Richards when they came under gun-fire in Brady Ghut.
Thomas succumbed to his gunshot injuries while Richards sustained ‘serious life-changing injuries’.
Following the incident, at about 9.30 pm on the same day, Ettienne was shot and killed at his Fahie Hill’s residence in the presence of family members and children.
Dee Dijion Hodge, Thomas’s business partner, was the only one named as a murder suspect in the matter, but no formal charges were laid against him for murder.
When he appeared before the court last year, the RVIPF indicated that cocaine with a street value of $2 million was found near his home, along with a pistol and ammunition.
He was then charged with possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply to another, unlawful possession of explosives, and possession of an unlicensed firearm.

12 months later, the RVIPF admitted they are no closer to solving the cases.
“Just over a year later, the Senior Investigating Officer of the Major Crime Investigations Team, Detective Inspector Vernon Larocque is still hopeful that a member of the public can help the police identify those responsible for these two callous shootings and commence the closure process for the grieving families.”
The release said other detectives from the Major Crime Investigations Team have also been working ‘tirelessly’ to solve the crimes.
Anyone with information can contact Detective Inspector Larocque directly on 368-9809 or via the Major Crime Investigation Team on 368-5682.

Not just murderers whose victims end up dead; but also MURDERERS whose victims still live. Yes, those who do non-stop wickedness to others day in day out on a daily basis. How can these wicked ones truly sleep?
How many intruders were involved in the incident with Mr. Ettienne?
I dont know it was never made public.
How many intruders could any one of us expect in an unfortunate event?
As citizens we can only be made safer by informing us of the dangers at hand.
