The authorities in Granada believe that escaped prisoners murdered the couple.
The three men, aged 19, 25 and 30, broke out of their cell on February 18th and were caught on St. Vincent last Wednesday (February 21st), according to a police press release on Facebook.
The “Alarm for Cobra 11” star and his daughters died in a plane crash near this Caribbean island at the beginning of the year.
“This investigation is still in its early stages,” the Royal Grenada Police Force said in the Facebook post.
The three men probably hijacked the yacht in Grenada's capital St. George's and traveled to St. Vincent with it.
