Scotland Yard has gotten involved in the suspicious death in January of British national Andrew Frederick of Lance Aux Epines.
THE NEW TODAY understands that Scotland Yard detectives flew into the island last week to take back the body of Frederick to London for a more detailed examination.
The body was exhumed last week Monday by La Qua Funeral Home and the following day was put on a British Airways airplane to take it back to England.
There is a known state of uneasiness existing between the Family of the Deceased and the hierarchy of the Royal Grenada Police Force on the death that took place at a private home in Lance Epines.
The Police have taken the position that the death is “suspicious” but well-known Trinidad & Tobago Pathologist Dr. Hubert Daisley who was retained by the family concluded after the autopsy that Frederick was murdered.
Speculation is rife that Scotland Yard detectives want to conduct their own investigation into the death of the British national.
However, it can only be done with the permission of Grenadian authorities including RGPF.
THE NEW TODAY cannot confirm reports in certain quarters that the local Police Force is reluctant to give “THE YARDIES” the permission to fly in a team of detectives to conduct their own independent investigation into the death of the British national.
A well-placed official familiar with the investigation surrounding the death of Frederick was quoted as saying: “I know he was tortured – he was beaten and left to die on the ground.”
The source who visited the crime scene said he saw signs of where the intruders forced open some rooms in the house as they broke the doors to gain entry.
He also said that he is convinced that more than one person was involved in the attack on Frederick.
He spoke of seeing a set of foot marks where the body was discovered and concluded that one of the persons involved seemed to be wearing sneakers and the other had on something like a construction boots.
The intruders also left behind several scattered things all over the house as they appeared to have ransacked the home and pelted a lot of things all over the place.
Frederick’s death was the first homicide in Grenada for 2026.
Grenada recorded only 10 murders in 2025 – believed to be the lowest in the Eastern Caribbean.
