BASSETERRE, St.Kitts (Thursday 10th May 2018) -The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) is offering a reward to the tune of EC $50,000 for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for last week’s shooting death of 37-year-old Sergeant Dwight Davis.
On the day in question (Thursday 3rd May) at about 7:00 A.M., police received a report of a body being found on a dirt road in the vicinity of the railway line in Dieppe Bay by two by-passers.
Reportedly, several Police Units responded and, upon arrival, found Sgt. Davis’ lifeless body of Sergeant Dwight Davis lying on the ground with what appeared to be gunshot wounds.
An autopsy was performed on the body which concluded that Sgt. Davis died as a result of several gunshot wounds.
Commissioner of Police Ian Queeley condemned the malice act and promised to utilise all resources at its disposal to bring the perpetrator(s) to justice noting that he has been in contact with regional and international colleagues and agencies seeking assistance in an effort to swiftly resolve the matter.
“The Investigative Team is working tirelessly on this case and while the evidence to date suggests that this might be an isolated case, let me make it very clear that an attack on one Police Officer is an attack on the entire organization, and by extension the State. As the men and women of the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force place their lives on the line daily in the pursuit of public safety, the Police Force will not tolerate any act of violence against them. We are determined to ensure that the matter involving Sergeant Davis is addressed swiftly, and in so doing, no stone will be left unturned,” the Commissioner said.
He further urged the public to come forward with any information, no matter how little or insignificant it may seem.
Investigations are ongoing.
