The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) of Saint Kitts and Nevis has leveled serious charges against Crown Counsel Prosecutor Shantrice Dorset in connection with the murder of 29-year-old Akeem Archibald.

Archibald, a resident of Conaree Village, was fatally shot while riding his motorcycle near his home on July 20, 2024, at 9:39 pm.

The main murder suspect, Khyron Philip, was initially identified by the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force.

Dorset now faces multiple grave charges, including, accessory after the fact to murder, attempting to pervert the course of justice, misconduct in public office and corruption.

The prosecutor is specifically accused of using her official position to influence the surrender of the firearm used in Archibald’s murder through an amnesty program.

Authorities allege she assisted Philip in fleeing the country to avoid judicial proceedings.
