Grenadian officials still to release Island Princess

Feb 03, 2010 News

The owner of the ill-fated Island Princess will have to wait just a little longer before his vessel is returned to him.
Errol Prince said that he learnt the disappointing news yesterday from his agent who informed him that the Deputy Commissioner of Police was awaiting word from his counterparts in Guyana before the cargo vessel is released.
He had assumed that all the loose ends had been tied up and his crew has already been in Grenada for two weeks preparing the Island Princess for the voyage home.
“I have a full crew in Grenada and the boat is ready to sail to Guyana.”
According to Mr. Prince, senior police officials have assured him that they will send the information to Grenada authorising the vessel’s release.   The Island Princess, with its four-man crew, disappeared in late September 2009, reportedly during a trial run to test its seaworthiness for a scheduled trip to Trinidad.
The gutted bodies of its captain, Titus Buckley Nascimento, 46, and the engineer, 25-year-old Mahendra Singh, were found at Zeelandia, Wakenaam, and on the Hamburg Island seashore respectively.
A third gutted body, identified as that of 23-year-old Ryan Chin, was found near the Queenstown, Essequibo foreshore.
The bodies all bore bullet wounds. The fourth crewmember, 46-year-old crewman Rickford Bannister, was never found.
The Island Princess subsequently reappeared off the coast of Grenada in October 2009.
