Alexander received a pen drive from the Director of Public Prosecution containing essential evidence, which he has begun to analyze but has not yet finished reviewing.

Zorina Benjamin lost her life on November 22, 2021, with authorities finding her body at her home in Golden Grove.

The investigation revealed she had sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Following her death, Charlery, who was in a relationship with Benjamin, was apprehended and charged.
