What to know

  • Andrew Frederick's body was found in a ransacked property in Grenada.
  • A pathologist ruled the death a homicide, yet local police closed the case.
  • Supporters say diplomatic delays between the two countries have stalled the inquiry.

Charity workers backing the family of Andrew Frederick, a British father found dead in a ransacked property in Grenada, are calling for immediate UK government intervention. Nearly 10 months after his death, a time-critical investigation has not begun, which the summary attributes to diplomatic delays between Britain and the Caribbean island.

A pathologist has ruled the death a homicide, but local police closed the case, according to the summary. The material does not name the authorities involved in the delay, describe what evidence may be at risk, or say what specific action the family and their supporters want from London.
