Murdered Abroad is seeking British government involvement in the investigation into Andrew Frederick’s death in Grenada, where a request for cross-border cooperation remains unresolved, The Guardian reported.
An autopsy classified Frederick’s death as a homicide, yet Grenadian police had closed the case, the Guardian said. Investigators found his body inside a residence that had been ransacked.
The charity, which is supporting Frederick’s family, has called on UK officials to help move the inquiry forward and asked the foreign affairs select committee to intervene, according to the report. The family is still waiting for answers.
The Guardian reported that Grenada had not approved a UK request to cooperate. A former Scotland Yard homicide commander told the newspaper that the crime scene had not been properly preserved; that was his assessment.
The charity’s founder said 60 to 80 families are bereaved by murder abroad each year, the Guardian reported. The next step identified in the report is Grenada’s decision on the UK cooperation request.
