Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Andre Mitchell has commended the collaborative work between the Office of the DPP and The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force, specifically the Crime Directorate, in advancing this case, and ultimately leading to its successful conclusion. The ACP has also commended the work of the Detectives assigned to this case.
