Antigua St. John's - A police officer is among several people that have been questioned in the suspicious death case of the 13-year old Aneisha Millet of Bethesda.
The body of the teenager was found floating in the water off Devil’s Bridge on Saturday July 7. It was only identified by family members on Saturday July 14 after a composite drawing of her was published by the police in the local media.
Head of the Criminal Investigation Department, Supt. Nuffield Burnette, said the police are treating the death as ‘suspicious’ and that the investigation is taking place with a determination to solve the case.
He said the police are currently interviewing a number of people as part of the investigation and that one of the persons who has been named as having had contact with the deceased is a police officer attached to the Dockyard Station.
“We are questioning everybody whose name has surfaced as part of our investigation. We are not going to leave any stones unturned. We are spreading our net in this investigation and anyone who is caught will have to face the consequences, irrespective of who that may be,” Burnette declared.
He said the police have been receiving a number of tips from members of the public that have helped the investigation thus far.
The CID head said the investigation has been stymied because the police have not yet been able to determine the cause of death. However, this matter should be resolved by Thursday when a post-mortem examination is performed on the body to make the determination.
“We have secured the services of a forensic pathologist from the United States, whose specialty is working along with police departments to determine cause of death in suspicious circumstances,” he explained.
The forensic pathologist arrived in the country on Wednesday to assist with the case.
Millet was reported missing to the police by members of her family, and there has been an uneasy tension between the family and the police over their handling of the initial missing reports.

..where are the Scotland Yard Graduates?
I cannot believe, that at this juncture, we still don't have qualified CSI Teams consisting of Pathologist, Chemists, Biologists, Detectives, Photographers, Computer Geeks etc. Paying a qualified group like this $300,000. US per year is a more meaningfull investment, than paying a loobyist that same fee

RE: Police Officer Questioned In Millet Case
If its murder by a male and that male had smex with her before the incident then the specialist will use testing from swabs to find the man.
Ofr if testing show she was pregnant it could be a married man did not like that bad news and did that to the little girl.
What ever the case may be I hope they find his **!

Skywell, to support your question....
The government is full a $h1t when it comes to sending people all over the place on scholarships. They need to look at what is in need. Not because you want to be a Doctor that the government should just jump up and give you scholarship. The government need to give scholarship based on the need of the country. For example, start giving scholarship to study forensic...
