Three prison escapees from a Caribbean island are facing capital murder charges, among other serious offenses, for the presumed deaths of a retired American couple. Ralph Hendry and Kathy Brandel were allegedly thrown overboard after the escapees from a Grenada prison hijacked their yacht and fled about 70 miles to the island of St. Vincent.
The suspects, Ron Mitchell, Trevon Robertson, and Abita Stanislaus, were recaptured on St. Vincent and sent back to Grenada. They have been charged with two counts of capital murder, escaping lawful custody, housebreaking, robbery, kidnapping, and in the case of Stanislaus, rape.
