Man charged for Corey Butler’s murder!

A man has now been charged for the murder of Corey Butler.

The accused is 35-year-old Akeem Durrant of Belle Vue.

“In addition to murder, Durrant was also charged with robbery and possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply. He will appear before the Magistrate’s Court at the next available sitting,” the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force said in a brief statement Friday afternoon.

According to the police, Butler, 35, was shot and killed in the Scatliffe Alley area around 6:30 pm on Tuesday, June 21.

The Lambert Estate resident was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the Dr D Orlando Smith Hospital with gunshot wounds to the body.

Butler’s death is the third gun-related homicide recorded in the territory since the beginning of the new year.

    For homicide detectives, the clock starts ticking the moment they are called. Their chance of solving a case is cut in half if they don’t get a lead in THE FIRST 48. Each passing hour gives suspects more time to flee, witnesses more time to forget what they saw, and crucial evidence more time to be lost forever.

    Something wrong with those people. Kareem up in prison for the murder of snoopy, now Akeem gone up for the murder of Corey. It is about time the police get Akeem off the streets. This dude allegedly been Robbing,shooting people, selling drugs, running drugs, bringing in guns for people for years, but never got caught, because his aunt and cousin are Police Sargeant and Detective. Time longer than twine. Hopefully they will charge him with the murders of Jerry, attemed murder of jeremy williams and countless other robberies and shootings that has been taking place,.
