Law enforcement officials say that the male suspect connected to the abduction and tragic murder of 9-year-old Chantel Crump has not been released, countering rumors circulating in various community discussions.
The investigation into this heartbreaking case is ongoing, despite a murder charge being filed against 20-year-old Angela Mejia, who is currently held at His Majesty’s Prison.
Authorities have refrained from disclosing further details, citing the need to maintain the integrity of the sensitive investigation.
Law enforcement remains committed to ensuring a thorough examination of all circumstances surrounding Chantel Crump’s abduction and subsequent murder.
They reassure the public that every possible effort will be made to uncover the truth and achieve justice for the young victim and her family.
The community continues to grapple with this tragic loss, and police are urging anyone with information related to the case to come forward.
Wish other imformation the police need when thy had the murderer in lock up already
My gut feeling is that he is involved some how. This was not just a random kidnap/murder this is major. She was not alone..
If he has anything to do with the abduction and subsequent murder of Chantel then he too should be charged but let’s not be too quick to judge. Allow the police to complete their investigation
Let’s wait to see the police is barely giving out information I guess they’re getting they work done
When the public falls asleep or gets tired waiting for police uodates or just distracted by the side-show set to take place in the “sister” island very shortly, custody doors will open mysteriously and the male accused will simply vanish. Don’t underestimate the “power” of ritual worship!!
For what reasoning. Why is he being held?
They must look for the other people involved, they have taken a long time to look for them and they have had time to leave the island.
