Griga Teenager Charged with Murder

A sixteen-year-old boy has been arrested and charged for the murder of Dangriga businessman Kenrick Drysdale. Last week we told you the story of how the car-wash owner was gunned down at his business. Police say they have the minor who did it, as well as the weapon that was used in the crime. At this time, police are not saying what motivated the murder only to say that the accused killer is familiar with the deceased.
