A second police officer has been charged in connection with the murder of a 16-year-old girl in Dominica, marking a significant development in the ongoing investigation.

The police said that the other officer had been arrested at the Douglas Charles Airport last week on his return to the state. The police gave no further details except to say that he will appear in court where the charge of murder will be read out to him.

Authorities announced the latest charge as investigators continue to examine the circumstances surrounding the teenager’s death. The case has drawn widespread attention across Dominica and the wider Caribbean.

The additional charge follows earlier legal action taken in the matter and signals the continuing efforts of law enforcement and prosecutors to bring those responsible before the courts.

The accused officer is expected to face judicial proceedings as the investigation and legal process move forward.
