The police in the British Virgin Islands have formally charged Alcedo Tyson in the shooting death of Dominican Kwanna Todd-Rhyner.
Tyson, 23, was charged with murder on Saturday morning, according to a release from the BVI police.
He is expected to appear in court on Monday, March 19, 2012.
Investigations into the killing continue and according to the police release Detective Inspector Niven of the Major Crime Team said: “The response from the public has been good and for that we are very grateful. However, there were a lot of people who were at the scene that night who have yet to come forward.”
The police said they would also like to speak to patrons of Deuces Night Club who were at the club that night and any other person who has information to assist the investigation.
Rhymer, originally from Grand Fond, was shot and killed during an alleged altercation with Tyson in the parking lot of the Deuces night club in Baugher’s Bay at about 4 am on March 16, 2012.
She had been living in the BVI for a number of years.
OMG! This dude is scary!
They said on BVI NEws that this girl was quiet and stayed out of trouble!
interesting that she was with this no good woman beater! Mr have a history of beating woman,he was even sent for councelling for beating a woman in 2008. Now why on earth would you put yourself with that character there if you like no trouble?
It even seems they have a child together
Girls find men your type,by their fruits you shall know them! Then BVI men their aggresive.
I tell you i went down there,them man was hustling me,first time in my life i see that! Men in DA never hustle me like that,and they aggressive
They like DA woman,we are soooo beautiful,and they are not used to seeing beauties like that in their country…..they don’t care about you,they just want to sex you

Be realistic. Have you ever been in love and probably with the wrong person and that you made a mistake? Everyone makes mistakes and I am certain that you are no exception. When people are in love, it is difficult to end a relationship in a wink of an eye and at the first argument. You should know that when man meets woman and vice versa, they are the best of people, on their best behavior and project their best mannerisms. When they grow accustomed to each other, taking each other for granted, or getting tired of each other, this is when they commence having problems. Then they find out that the person who showed such love and interest and no longer projects it and is not the person whom they loved from the beginning of the relationship and who was in love then. If you have not yet learned that and also are not aware of it, learn it although I think that you project hypocrisy.
you are out of line and not getting the whole picture,what she is saying is true,this people regard other people as banana boat or down islanders,this is how they see DA women as sex toys.
Dawwould sweetie… you male chauvinistic pig ……it’s not like the women killed the guy by putting grinned up glass
in his meal….
it was fight and she defended herself ….you see the difference now honey….
no physical abuse is no reason to kill someone…and i do not believe she intended to kill him….she wanted to scare/hurt him…she wanted him to stop him from beating the crap our of her…. so she reacted
he obviously wasn’t intimidated by the knife ….or else he would have left when she got it….he probably kept coming at her with the knife in her hand so she was forced to strike…
lets bet that is what happened
i suspect when i post late at night…i need to repost
i believe this man should be hung. He has a lovely face but looks tormened to me

Life is precious. We should treasure it, respect our lives, that of others and accord them their right to life, what we expect of them and want for ourselves.
It is so sad that young lives are lost through those types of incidents and others. No one deserves to die in such a manner and/or at the hands of others.
I visualize what her family members are going through. This is not an easy matter for them to bear. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to them. May God comfort them.
I pray and hope that God had mercy on her soul. May she rest in peace. Amen!
I may not know the entire story, however this goes to show how crazy a human being get go when inlove….. This man should learn to control his anger, if you can kill your own true love, you can kill anybody. I believe he should be put in jail for life. Our country is goin backwards …The girl was sooo young
R.I.P
You got to be kidding me. One of our very own that do that? And we have a strong belief our parents raise us right in DA. But when they go overseas they does start picking up old habits and thats true. in the USVI same thing….lord help us
IS HE DOMINICAN?
he is not dominican…he wzas born in tortola
We was to weak to accept rejection.
i jus kno in my heart that was another domestic dispute…smh so sad

Thanks, IRIE-I. The information at the link is very telling!
Abusers never stop!
Why are we so quick to judge others ? He was wrong to resort to killing whatever the problem was between the two of them he should have just walked away. Rightnow he is charged with murder wake up people satan is laughing we need to be the winner not him. To the family of this young lady God gives us nothing we can’t handle be strong for she is in a better place now. RIP Kawanna. To the young man sorry but you do the crime face the time.
@ Dawould D comeo on man are you saying that this is self defense too, he had to use a gun to defend himself against that young woman
Oh no Tiny I’m not saying that at all, read my comments again and understand what it says.
oh my… smh… i went on this dude f.b page… i looked through his pix… i saw a photo of the victim and her daughter… someone put a comment… to the essence… ‘that girl looking like her mother bad.. cute!!!” the guy’s response was… “When!!!!! She aim look nothing like her mother u ain lookin good man she look like me”
these type of men women needs to keep away from… i always say… don’t wait for someone to jagg u… to know they aint your friend… the little signs speaks louder… when someone ignores you or try to avoid your company… these are little signs that this person don’t want to be around or with you… whenever someone always has an old joke or quazz to throw on you… becareful.. he/she may be secretly ‘hating’ or grudging you..
all these are little signs we take for granted and try to ignore or laugh them off… these are not wisdom you can learn in school but only through life experiences… this guy is a jealous being… and it must have been jealousy, regret and hate that drove him to committing this crime…
@ mouth of the south
You have made some excellent points which I agree with. The problem is that some people will ignore them because they want the person – to be their lover – this is why they murder. They consider that if I cannot have you no one else will. It happens with both sexes – male and female.
The only thing that could have helped him is prayers but then again, he did not give God a thought and turned to him in prayer and ask for His assistance. He allowed his emotions and bad tempter to get the better of him. Now, he has taken a life and has forfeited his freedom and may spend the rest of his God-given precious life in prison. How sad.
There I go again.
People never know in what situation they will find themselves in. This is why according to the saying, we should always keep in mind and say: “There but for the grace of God go I.”
His family must also be shocked at what he has done.
What is the point u were trying to make about him stating the child looked like him ??
Its just a statement reflecting his opinion .
Youu should know that in the picture you are referring to, the older female is the victim, but the ‘daughter’ is the man’s not the Victims. The little girl belongs to another female from another relationship previous.
hello kaykay did not have any kids that was his daughter not hers and cedo is a idiot punk. dem done look how long he r@$$hole just mean if he aint having her no one else. he always looking de gyal trouble
so you saying the girl ain’t look trouble too… you all don’t know what they go through when they behind closed doors so stop judging cedo…and she does have a child. check her facebook page…unless she do away with it
young;
like so many brothers, why do you think that a woman is an object for manipulation(lies, abuse,control)? why do you think that a woman is an object that is so easily disposable to a point where it is okay to rape, cheat, and kill?
this is a strange mystery that is very destructive to the core of humanity.
To the nake eye,this mistake is unforgivable.
Only The Almighty knows
Once a foreigner kills a Dominican woman anywhere in the world, every right thinking Dominican must act as an equalizer. This is how Israel operates and they are God chosen people. We also must put patriotic meaning to the words of our national anthem: All for each and each for all.
I am Dominica, are you? Then save our Dominican women – naturally beautiful with little need for makeup and extensions.
‘Once a foreigner kills a Dominican woman anywhere in the world, every right thinking Dominican must act as an equalizer’ ‘All for each and each for all’
So in order to prove how patriotic we really are, when a Dominican woman is killed abroad, we must start killing a national from that foreign place, and we will be justified.
WOW (and double WOW). Your patriotism is way beyond me. Seeing as I dont agree with you, I guess I’m not as patriotic as I thought.
What coward shoot an ex? Hang him!!!
them man’s want to have 5 woman and when we woman tell them we done them man tell we them going to kill we if u know u can’t take it don’t do it man(this is what love do to them)
the devil has blinded us .we need to realize that this is deeper than our physical thoughts .
awa wi… grandfond again.. bonzai oye.. is a ting den.. 2 beautiful ladies have gotten bullets and they’re both from grandfond and both work at gas station.. hmm co-incident in a very lil space of time. GOD PLEASE DELIVER UR POWER AS STRONG AS EVER IN THE LIVES OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. WE CALL ON YOUR NAME TO SAVE THE WORLD. we never kno what actually went rong during the momentum but as one could kno by experience, if u are not strong enough in conflicts especially love situation, anything is possible at the point of anger. but please the key to solving bad situations is just try to keep humble.. tell yourself no need for this shit!!. LOVE MERCY AND PEACE
He looks lost already.
man i do not give a damm about sexism,when a man pull a gun on a woman he is weak and a freak of nature,man was created to represent strength and god head,we got man in dominican society just beating on women,it is because they know that they are men,and should command respect,because women was created of mans rib,not be advantaged,but to be protected,but they not representing men,they are zaman,so when a woman stab them kind a man there,i am not surprised,be it self defence or are agressive,punish these suckers in the worst of way.
i know you dislike me but……………….
…i love you for this comment..peeping tom dawoud other males who can’t agree to this and and chauvinistic pigs
My boy did u give the young lady life??? who r u to take it away?? u hve some anger issues that u need to deal with.ask god for forgiveness and enjoy ur time in jail there are a lot of ‘happy’ men who awaits ur little window.
you that lil punk you kill kay kay,you think thats the best you could have done? you better start praying all now. we dominicans standing strong for kay kay and her family
listen “dawould” the Muslim sounding name person……this is not the middle east women have a little more rights here….double standard? if you were an honest man you would agree…men are the physically violent ones in 95 % of the time
Where did you get this saying that men are physically violent 95% of the time? I advise you to read up on the subject http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_abuse
Secondly, the statistics mainly deals with REPORTED cases. Many times men do not report the cases of domestic abuse done against them.
What do you know about the Middle East? Please stop listening to western propaganda and do a little research. Thanks.
look at that handsome face. They really say that the devil does not come with horns eh. And is he Dominican too?
This is the double standard and hypocrisy I hate very strongly in the Dominican society.
This morning a woman killed a man in Kalinago Territory this morning. Many on face book and even on D.N.O hold the view that it was self defense. Not one of them was an eye witness to the incident; yet they yelled “self defense!” Yet when a man commits the crime they yell “hang him!”
Not one on D.N.O said “hang the woman!” Yes both of these killings were wrong and condemned but we must be just, remove this sexism that has a high stench in the Dominican society.
My second line should read This morning a woman allegedly…
Sorry about that!
I totally agree with you…
That is justice Dominican style…hasty, selective and prejudicial, without basis, and primitive.
Your comment, though controversial is partially correct. Whenever force is used as ” self-defense” it MUST BE JUST THE RIGHT FORCE / EQUAL TO THAT of the perpetrator to deter him/her from hurting you. Allegedly in the case of the shooting in the BVI the Dominican girl was unarmed! Hence the outcry..
In the case of the woman stabbing the man if he was unarmed then your statement is justified. But if he was abusive then maybe she was.
No one detests hypocrisy more than Jesus, the only man who walked on earth with the authority to judge sinners like us. But we do have opinions. Your comment is the 6th, to date, (others pending moderation while DNO takes a weekend break, I guess), yet you generalize and expressed your strong hatred for hypocrisy in Dominican society. Only one comment, to date, said that he should be hanged. Your “hatred” is obvious. You do not have to mask behind “hypocrisy” which is widespread among sinners.
The hypocrisy in the Dominican society I mentioned was not generalized according to the context here. If you read I made the statement then elaborated as to what is it I strongly hate and it is okay to express love as well as hatred for something. Secondly, this hatred is not towards Dominicans but to particular sentiments I strongly disagree with (hate).
maybe somebody should start beating you constantly and then you would realize the rage one gets from being continuously beaten byt this person called your ‘lover’>> oh and btw.. that scenario is completely different from the one in BVI.
Someone beats you constantly then manslaughter is justified?
Rest in peace baby girl, no more strife. May God continue to give your family and friends strength and courage to carry on. As we bury Mano today, the strength of God has manifested itself. We are AAA quality as long we land on our back when we fall, we are going to stand again, because once your looking up, you must get up. Our hearts are arching but the Comforter has come.
Cedo why did you have to resort to killing Kaykay; she was your true love at a pointing time. Why Why Why Cedo? Rest In Peace Kaykay
I know right…but then again love makes u do so many thing. he should have left her alone but he just would not listen
@ Fanchiface
At a point in time.
He will live to regret it. No doubt, he already is regretting it. He is a young man with many years ahead of him who could have done so much good with his time and future. His weak spirit got the most of him.
Four things that come not back: “The spoken word, the sped arrow, the past life and the neglected opportunity.”
Will he spend the rest of his days in prison? When the case is called and the verdict is brought down we will find out.
DOMINICANS DYING(BEING KILLED)ALL OVER THE PLACE ONE AFTER THE OTHER NOW
It appears that way. Murder and other violent crimes that involve Dominicans are common place these days, yet most of us continue to say that nothing is wrong. I beg to differ. Something is very wrong. A root cause analysis is in order.
I agree with you. …. November 2010 the leadership said the crimes were not violent. I wonder what they saying and thinking now. Crimes by Dominicans, against Dominicans at home and abroad. Something is definitely wrong, God is NOT asleep.
HANG HIM!!!!!!!!!!!KILL THE GIRL. WHAT WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE. THEY HAVE TO PUT HARSH PUNISHMENT FOR THEM
why hang him? the police arrest people for killing and yet hanging someone isn’t it killing as well?
agreed
