What is being described as a domestic matter resulted in a Security Officer who works with a local security company on the island killing his girlfriend in Goodwill. In the process, he is said to have also injured the 17-year-old child of the medical doctor. Reports are that he may have drunk poisonous substances and is now fighting for his life at the hospital.
