LANCE AUX EPINES, GRENADA
It has been over one month since the vibrant life of 47-year-old British national Andrew Frederick was cut short.
While the sun continues to set over the quiet community of Lance Aux Epines, the Frederick family remains trapped in a waking nightmare, battling both the grief of a brutal loss and limited transparency in the official investigation.
The Discovery: A Scene of Violence
On January 4, 2026, Andrew’s body was discovered in his home after concerned loved ones, unable to reach him, requested a welfare check via a family friend. What greeted those who entered was not a natural passing, but a scene of chaos. Sources close to the family describe a vandalised residence and a body bearing traumatic injuries, hallmarks of a violent struggle.
To his grandmother, Andrew was more than a headline; he was her “right hand.”
“He’s loving, he’s kind, he’s genuine… who could do a thing like that to a human being? Who could kill Andrew and get away with it?”
The Investigation: Limited Transparency
While the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) maintain that the investigation is active, the family’s frustration has reached a breaking point. One month later, no suspects have been named, and no arrests have been made.
Independent Experts Confirm Foul Play
Refusing to wait indefinitely, the family took the extraordinary step of hiring independent experts, including renowned pathologist Dr. Hubert Daisley of Trinidad and Tobago (jointly used with the RGPF) and a private crime scene investigator.
Their findings were clear: Andrew Frederick was murdered. “The reports have been completed and submitted to the police,” a family spokesperson stated. “We have done the work to provide indicators of foul play, yet we have no insight into the direction of the investigation.”
A Call to the Public: “Stop the Rumours, Find the Truth”
The Frederick family says damaging rumours about Andrew’s death are being circulated, worsening the family’s distress and obstructing the search for truth. They are urging the public to reject speculation and instead provide clear, factual information to help bring accountability and justice.

- International Women’s Day: The Diaspora Women Who Carry the World on Their Shoulders
On International Women’s Day we celebrate the achievements of women around the world. Yet across the African and Caribbean diaspora, women have long been leading, building and transforming communities often without recognition. From figures such as Michelle Obama and Doreen Lawrence to countless women working quietly within their communities, this piece honours the resilience, leadership and enduring impact of diaspora women. - The Hidden Tax of Being Black
In her latest piece as Behavioural Finance Editor for Black Wall St. Media, Krystle McGilvery explores how professionals can begin to recognise these hidden costs and, more importantly, how to push back against them. Her article outlines practical strategies to build leverage, extract real value from workplace opportunities, and develop the kind of exit power that ensures you are never trapped in a role that diminishes your worth. - Editor’s Letter March 2026
February did not whisper, it exposed. From the BAFTA stage to global politics, from representation to real power, this month forced uncomfortable conversations into the open. In this Editor’s Letter, Dr Diahanne Rhiney interrogates visibility, hierarchy, solidarity, and the cost of performative progress. If you care about power, equity, and the responsibility of independent Black media, this is a reflection you won’t want to miss. - Dom Taylor’s Caribbean Renaissance in Dalston
When Dom Taylor quietly exited one of London’s most prestigious hotel kitchens, the whispers travelled fast. Now, two years later, he’s back and this time in Dalston, on his own terms. In this latest review, Paloma Lacy revisits The Good Front Room to discover whether the chef’s bold mission to elevate Caribbean cuisine still holds its magic. From refined jerk to reimagined ackee and saltfish, this is more than a comeback, it’s a statement. - When Inclusion and Impact Collide at the BAFTAs
By Dr Diahanne Rhiney, Editor in Chief, Black Wall St Media It was meant to be a night of celebration at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts — a polished tribute to craft, creativity and cultural progress. Instead, the 2026 BAFTAs left many viewers sitting with an altogether different emotion: disbelief. During a ceremony broadcast by the BBC, a racial slur rang out while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo stood on stage. The context, we later learned, was complex. The impact was not. In this piece, Dr Diahanne Rhiney examines what happens when commitments to inclusion collide — when disability, race, editing decisions and institutional responsibility converge under the brightest lights. This is not a call for outrage. It is a call for competence, care and courage. Because representation without protection is not progress. And when harm is foreseeable, silence is not neutrality — it is a choice.
