The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) have charged two individuals in separate incidents related to the possession of firearms and ammunition.
On February 6, at approximately 19:20 hours, police arrested and charged George Ollivierre Jr., 32, of Trellis Bay for Possession of a Prohibited Firearm and two counts of Unlawful Possession of Explosives. Officers reportedly recovered a 9mm pistol along with 35 rounds of .45 calibre ammunition and one round of 9mm ammunition.
In a separate incident on February 12, at approximately 14:30 hours, police arrested and charged Edwin White, 20, of The Valley, Virgin Gorda, with Unlawful Possession of Explosives after being found in possession of 16 rounds of .40 calibre ammunition.
Both men are expected to appear before the Magistrate’s Court at a later date.
Akeem Hopkinson has been found guilty of the April 2021 murder of Catherine Pickering following a trial at the High Court.
A 10-member jury delivered the verdict today, Tuesday, February 25, convicting him on all four charges after approximately three hours of deliberations.
Hopkinson was found guilty of murder, robbery, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger lives, and possession of a prohibited weapon. He is scheduled to return to court on 7 March 2025.
Hopkinson’s conviction stems from an incident that led to the fatal shooting of Catherine Pickering in April 2021. He was charged alongside Shameek Grant, then 28, and Shermar Richardson, then 24, both of whom were implicated in the crime. Grant was also charged with murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, while Richardson faced a robbery charge.
All three men were initially brought before the Magistrate’s Court in May 2023 and were remanded to Her Majesty’s Prison.
The case was presided over by Judge Rajiv Persad, with Hopkinson represented by Phoenix Law.
A young man driving a Suzuki Jimny was taken into police custody earlier today following a high-speed chase that spanned multiple areas of Tortola before ending in Sea Cows Bay.
The pursuit began in the Lower Estate area and continued through Huntums Ghut, before moving into the hilly terrain known as “Country.” The chase later descended into Sea Cows Bay via Elevator Hill, where it concluded when the driver reached a dead end at Bound Tree Road.
Law enforcement officers apprehended the suspect at the scene and recovered a quantity of marijuana from the vehicle.
An eyewitness described the intensity of the chase, stating, “It was scary and wild. If you see how that youth maneuver on the flat between vehicles and people, including school children.” The witness also commended the officers involved. “Whoever was that police driving did a good job in keeping behind him and not colliding with traffic.”
As of press time, formal charges had not been confirmed, but sources indicate the suspect is likely to face multiple charges, including possession of an illegal drug, reckless endangerment, and failing to stop at the command of a police officer.
