Head of the Criminal Investigation Department on Nevis, Inspector Andre Mitchell told the Department of Information that Thompson “was found lying in the house in a pool of blood. She was fully clothed and officers observed what appeared to be a stab wound.”

While Inspector Mitchell remained tight-lipped about the location of the stab wound and the number of stab wounds, he said that the details would be released following an autopsy on Thompson’s body.

We cannot say exactly what the motive is,” he said, but when asked if the allegations of domestic dispute were correct the CID Inspector responded, “that is a possibility, but we are exploring other motives.”

Investigations into the sudden death of Thompson are ongoing and the Department of Information has confirmed that Wilkinson has been detained as a suspect in the crime.
