Charity workers backing the family of Andrew Frederick have called on the UK government to intervene after what they say are diplomatic delays have stalled a crucial investigation into his death on Grenada.
Frederick's body was discovered in a ransacked property on the Caribbean island nearly 10 months ago. Although a pathologist has ruled the death a homicide, police in Grenada subsequently closed the case, the charity said, prompting fresh demands for action to ensure a full probe can proceed.
Diplomatic delays have been cited as the primary obstacle to restarting the investigation, with officials from both countries needing to clear steps that the charity describes as time-critical. The organisation supporting the family says those delays are preventing investigators from accessing evidence and pursuing lines of inquiry.
The charity has urged the UK government to step in immediately to clear the way for a full forensic and criminal inquiry. It says prompt action is necessary to preserve evidence and to allow for any required cooperation between Grenadian and British authorities.
Officials in London and St George's have not been quoted in the materials provided by the charity, and it is not clear what specific diplomatic procedures are outstanding. Cross-border investigations frequently require formal requests and mutual legal assistance, which can be affected by bureaucratic or legal processes.
The family and their supporters said they were seeking assurances that the case would be reopened and thoroughly investigated. They called for clear timelines and for both governments to prioritise resolving the diplomatic hurdles so investigators can pursue leads while evidence remains available.
