RVIPF creates special team to review old murder cases

The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has dedicated a special team that will be committed to reviewing unsolved murder cases in the territory.

According to the Commissioner of Police, Mark Collins, the Historical Case Review Team will look at previous testaments, previous victim statements, forensic opportunities and also meet with families of the victims to discuss the case.

The Commissioner added that he has met with some families recently to discuss the outstanding cases and appraise them of the goals the police force is trying to achieve with these cold cases.

“With fresh eyes and greater technology at our disposal, we will this year see charges for other murders, I am sure,” the top cop said.

Commissioner Collins mentioned the specially curated team will focus on the five unsolved murders over the last two years for now.
