BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – INFORMATION disseminated by the police revealed that the two men found dead in the Olivees/Mattingley Mountain resulted from gunshot wounds.
A police press release issued yesterday confirmed that autopsies were performed on the bodies of Orlando ‘Snoop’ Williams of Buckley’s Site and Leon Willock of Dorset Village on Monday, March 24, 2008 by Barbadian Forensic Pathologist Dr. Stephen Jones. According to his report, Williams died of haemmorhage and shock secondary to gunshot to the head and Willock died of haemmorhage and shock secondary to gunshot to the abdomen.
The police also inform that following the autopsies, the bodies were handed over to the families “for burial”.
The men were discovered on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 after a report was lodged at the Basseterre Police Station.
According to an article published by SKNVibes.com, “…SKNVibes understands that a report was made at the Basseterre Police Station at about 11:55 a.m. yesterday indicating that both men reportedly went to the Olivees Mountain on Sunday morning and

up until the time the report was made, had not been seen or heard from.
Head of the Police Force’s Press and Public Relations Office, Inspector Cromwell Henry told SKNVibes that later Tuesday afternoon another report was received which indicated that a body was found in the Mattingley/Olivees Mountain area.
"Officers of the Police and Defence Forces mounted a search in the area and discovered the bodies. One was found in a marijuana patch and the other over a ghaut. They were found about 100 feet from each other,” Henry informed. He indicated that Williams was found first and Willock about an hour later.’…”
~~Adz:Left~~ Inspector Henry told SKNVibes it is still not clear whether or not the men were murdered; therefore they cannot be officially named as the Federation’s third and fourth murder victims.
The murder toll for St. Kitts Nevis for 2008 stands at two while the homicides toll sits at four, owing to the fact that, as the Inspector explained, no conclusion has been drawn as to what type of killings were Willock’s and Williams’.
Investigations are ongoing and persons with information relative to this incident are asked to contact the nearest police station or the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) at 465-2241 ext. 220,230 or 236. All information will be handled with confidentiality.
