Twenty-seven-year-old (27) Stephan Eudovique, also known as “Tall Boy,” of La Croix Maingot, Marigot, was fatally shot during a robbery at New Development, Belair, on Tuesday, 10th December 2024.
On Wednesday, 22nd January 2024, this operation led to the arrests of twenty-four-year-old (24) Thankson Alfred, also known as “Pason,” and twenty-seven-year-old (27) Karan Emmason Emmanuel, also known as “Baige,” both of New Development, Belair.
On Monday, 27th January 2025, officers of the Major Crimes Unit formally cautioned and charged Thankson Alfred and Karan Emmason Emmanuel with the murder of Stephan Eudovique.
