Today, the Head of National Crimes Investigation told us more:..

ACP Joseph Myvett, Head, NCIB
"Around 11:45am, police visited an area between miles 18 and 19 on the Stann Creek Valley Road where they discovered the body of Miss Stringham in a state of decomposition. The body was removed from there where a post-mortem was conducted where she died from traumatic asphyxia. As a result, police have since arrested and charged eighteen-year-old Wilhem Nunez and eighteen-year-old Anthony Nunez and a sixteen year old minor for the crime of murder."

Reporter
"Are they related?"

ACP Joseph Myvett, Head, NCIB
"Yes."

Reporter
"So these men are Hopkins villagers?"

ACP Joseph Myvett, Head, NCIB
"Yes they are."

Reporter
"So she was missing for a week, maybe 8 days before her body was found. Is it the belief of the investigators, based on the condition of the body found, that she had been killed on the day of her disappearance?"

ACP Joseph Myvett
"Yes, we do believe that was the case based on the investigation."

Reporter
"Was she killed in a home investigation or aggravated burglary as it is called?"

ACP Joseph Myvett
"Yes, the house was indeed burglarized where she was taken from the home and then later on she was transported to where the body was found."

Reporter
"You all believe that she was taken from the home alive or that she was killed in the home and then?"

ACP Joseph Myvett
"We do not know that at this point in time. We are still currently investigating this matter."

We'll keep following the story to see if more charges are brought.
