By Aaron Humes: While not yet “conclusive” according to Commissioner of Police Chester Williams, the murder of 59-year-old Godfrey Hyde is leaning toward being drug-related.

Police information suggests that certain people believed that Hyde, a caretaker, may have found drugs and went to retrieve it from him. There was a confrontation and Hyde was shot dead, his body found by a friend who brought supplies for him on January 4.

A team of Police and Coast Guard are in the area conducting searches and it is believed that others are involved in the killing. Their investigations continue.
