ACP Joseph Myvette, Head NCIB
"What the police know is that Joseph was riding his bike toward the direction of Belcan bridge when he was approached by a dark complexion male person who fired a single shot which caught him somewhere towards the back of his head, as a result he was transported to the Karl Heusner Memorial hospital where on the second of November whilst undergoing treatment he succumbed to those injuries. The police are following several leads in regards to the investigation at this point in time."

A postmortem revealed Joseph's cause of death to have been a Cardio Pulmonary Thrombo embolism due to the gunshot wound.
