PURCELL ESTATE, Tortola, VI- Selroy Hanley, who resided at Purcell Estate at the time he was accused and charged for Wounding with Intent and being Armed with an Offensive Weapon, is now being charged for murder, after the man he allegedly stabbed succumbed to his injuries.
Hanley, 34, is accused of stabbing Trevon Elliot, 22, while on the basketball court in Purcell Estate on August 30, 2022.
After months spent in hospital as doctors battled to preserve his life, Elliot passed in March of this year. That development has led the Office of the Public Prosecution to up Hanley’s charge to that of Murder.
The accused, who has been on remand since last year, appeared in the Magistrate’s Court on May 31, 2023, when the charge of Murder was read to him.
Hanley was not required to enter a plea as the charge was laid indictable.
It was revealed in court that Hanley allegedly used an “ice pick” to stab Elliot.

Me I blame media, everything now is being recorded. Case example the video of the situation at the gas station in scb
Yes the father was wrong for putting his hand on the young man. However the bystander went to far when he slapped the dude. Just showed another classic example of bully. Idk if the man thought of his size he could not take him but I wasn't letting him slap me like that especially twice.
