A 33-YEAR-old Bahamian has been charged with the murder of two Dominican waitresses in the Turks and Caicos Islands, according to a report in the islands’ Sun newspaper.
Police spokesman Kevin Clarke said the man, whose last residence was Millennium Heights, Providenciales, was formally charged on Friday with the murders of 26-year-olds Yuneiry Veras, who was found dead in the Pirate’s Cove area on April 23, 2016, and Sorineido Moreno Arias, who was found dead on Crystal Bay Road, Providenciales, on July 13.
Mr Clarke did not divulge the name of the murder accused but the Turks and Caicos Sun confirmed his identity as Christopher Forbes, of Freeport, Grand Bahama. He was escorted to court under heavy police guard.
“The charges stemmed from a complex, extensive and thorough investigation,” Mr Clarke said.
His next court appearance will be on November 4.

Though I historically regard Turks Islanders as Bahamians, politically they aren't. From the reports I've read, he is a Turks Islander who spends plenty time in Freeport but that don't make him Bahamian.
