Police have now officially charged Brandon Lee Wells with the murder of his sister Leanna Napoleon. Murder charges were laid on Saturday 17 June following the gruesome discovery of Leanna’s body in Olivees Mountain on Thursday when the brother was again picked up and taken into custody.
Leanna had gone missing for over one month as police and community groups searched vigilantly for the 17year old, 5th Form Basseterre High School student in vain.
However overnight last Wednesday, police apparently acting on a tipoff were able to recover the body of Leanna in a shallow grave in Olivees Mountain.
Unconfirmed reports are that she may have been raped and suffered blunt force trauma to her head. The body was found wrapped in plastic with her mouth stuffed with her underwear and taped.
Police remain tight lipped about who provided the information as to the exact location she was found and who took her up there.
Police are now on the hunt for other individuals in connection with this murder.
