Acting Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Sabrina Dougdeen-Jaglal, has ordered an inquest be held into the death of Michael Angelo Francis, aka ‘Boy Boy,’ who sustained stab wounds and subsequently died at Hospital on 5th October, 2025.

The female suspect, identified as Shantelle Noel, who was held in connection with the incident was also ordered released, pending the findings of the inquest. Reports state investigators believe she may have acted in self-defence.
