Cayman police say no one else involved in regulator’s death
A Cayman Islands coroner’s court will consider the circumstances surrounding the death of 47-year-old Judiann Myles, the deputy director of the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority.
Ms Myles’s body was found in the driver’s seat of her burning vehicle, discovered by police in a remote area outside of George Town on April 3.
Police previously had told reporters that the fire was deliberately set, and the high profile case involving the head of the country’s anti-money laundering unit, still has many residents on edge.
It is the first of two cases involving a high profile figure that has left more questions than answers.
Authorities say they reviewed CCTV camera footage from at least 29 locations, together with witness accounts and forensic evidence during the three month investigation.
Cayman News Service has reported that Police Commissioner Kurt Walton disclosed during a press conference that after an investigation involving numerous international forensic professionals and layers of evidence, the official view is that “no third party” was involved.
More than three quarters of an online poll of CNS readers of the article self-reported themselves as angry.
Cayman Compass reported: “Commissioner Kurt Walton would not be drawn on how police believe Myles died, saying that would be determined after a public inquest.
“Similarly, in the missing persons case of Compass Media journalist Andrel Harris, Walton said police had concluded there was no ‘third party involvement’.
“Harris was last seen on CCTV (June 3) walking towards Pedro Castle. Clothes and items belonging to him were found in the water off that coastline.
“The inquiry remains an open missing persons investigation.”
