BVI man remanded for murder of Dominican

Tyson

Alcedo Tyson, who has been charged with the murder of Dominican Kwanna Todd-Rhymer, was remanded in custody when he appeared in a British Virgin Island court on Monday.

Press reports from the BVI indicate that Tyson was not required to enter a plea since the offense is an indictable one.

He is expected to return to court on May 16.

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 in the BVI at about 4 am on March 16, 2012.

She had been living in the BVI for a number of years.

Tyson reportedly turned himself in hours after the incident occurred and was formally charged with murder by BVI law enforcement on Saturday, March 17.

    I cant understand how can such a beautiful Dominican woman get involve with a criminal like this. I hope other DA women will take heed and be selective in your choices especially in these foreign countries.

    Another perspective:

    Did she get what was coming for her:-
    1.she was sleeping around – Men can’t stand to be cuckolded

    2. Some of our girls have an up-in-your-face attitude – he got pissed off and lost it.

    3.Last but not least – The wages of sin is death

      He is still young. He is not beyond rehabilitation except that he may spend the rest of his life in prison.

      @ cha!!

      She was an attractive young woman. It is too bad that she is gone and so young. Note his face, eyebrows and hair. He does not appear to be a nice young man. There are times the women are badly treated. When they have taken enough and decide to quit, the men cannot take it which sometimes result in injuries and death. He will have some years, if not the rest of his life to regret his actions. Too late for he has tarnished his name and has a murder on his hands/life forever. He did not treasure his freedom.

        i know him and i know his character so his face does not say what kind of person he is. he been through a lot with this girl and i guess he snapped. could happen to anybody. but still he was wrong to have done what he did i am not tolerating that. just dont judge him because u don’t know him

    why should he be allowed to live a life when its obvious that he took the girl life because he thinks that if he can’t have her no one else will.. partners who think like this should not be allowed to have relationships at all

    Young women need to think hard before “hooking up” with just any guy. One look at this guy and he would not get a minute of my life.

    Young people, take your time before committing to a relationship with just any “bad boys”. You deserve decent, hard-working, respectful, ambitious young men/women who will treat you the way a lady/man deserves to be treated at the APPOINTED time. Prioritize in life – FOCUS- get a decent education and career before you settle for a family and when you are ready to DATE use that as an opportunity to GET TO KNOW the person before going to bed with him/her (that is what dating is all about). If that person is not willing to wait then proceed no further. Find someone who deems you worthy to be his / her soul mate.

    Parents, make it a point of duty to TEACH your sons how to be good husbands and fathers of society. Teach them from very early that raising a finger to a woman is not acceptable. Teach them responsibility as a husband and father. Likewise, teach your daughters to be responsible mothers and women of society and what to look for in a husband. Teach them that it is NOT ok to be abused or even pushed, let alone, beaten by a man.

    Wait on GOD young women and He will give you the person He reserved for you from the very beginning. Don’t be too hasty and don’t fall for these “booty call” lines. YOU DESRVE BETTER YOUNG WOMEN – YOU ARE VERY PRECIOUS, YOUR VIRGINITY IS PRECIOUS – don’t throw it AWAY! Serve GOD- for when your life aligns with GOD’s will you won’t even have to ask for a husband, He will give you one and He adds no sorrow with His blessings.

    This is such a tragedy and I do empathize with her family. Be strong and may God surround you all with HIS angels.

      PLEASEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! You’d be surprised that the descent good looking guys or seem to be descent guys are the bad guys out there. The drug dealers, gangsters, and ugly guys are the ones who treat women 10 times better than the average guy working in an office or the bank. I am not saying it is right for young girls, with education, job, etc to go looking for bad guys BUT, come on! Also, most men are scum, so however you look at it, no man is perfect. At the end of the day, it’s the girl’s decision to leave if it’s going wrong and trust me, it’s not that easy to leave! So… 8-O

        I do respect your opinion, but I never said “seemingly decent” guy. I said a decent guy and decency comes from within, not by external appearance. That is why one needs to take time to get to KNOW the person before he/she commits. That is all I am saying.

        Peace

    It’s a sad thing to take someone life — it’s almost as if people are acting that they have purchased their lover from the store and owns him or her entirely. We need think straight before taking drastic actions. The young man life in now in jeopardy — he will be wasting time behind the calaboose for his egocentric actions.
