Authorities in Grenada have formally charged a 16-year-old male resident of Sabb, St Andrew with non-capital murder in connection with the violent death of 66-year-old Melvar Wharwood. Prosecutors confirm the charge stems from evidence that the teen caused Wharwood’s death through unlawful harm, according to official statements released by the Office of the Commissioner of Police of the Royal Grenada Police Force. The criminal proceeding was launched after police launched a full investigation into the grim discovery: Wharwood’s unresponsive body was found in the Mirabeau area of St Andrew on Sunday, May 3, 2026. As a juvenile accused of the serious offense, the teen is scheduled to make his first initial court appearance at the Grenville Magistrate’s Court on Monday, May 11, 2026, where the first procedural steps of the legal process will get underway. No further details about the motive or circumstances surrounding the incident have been released to the public as the investigation remains ongoing.
