ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada–The Trinidad and Tobago registered vessel, the “Harbor Master,” which had been at the center of a police investigation into a matter involving Grenada’s world-class athlete, Anderson Peters, was allowed to leave the island on Wednesday.
The vessel had come to Grenada for Carnival festivities in August. Still, it was detained following the August 10 brawl involving the Trinidad crew, the World Champion javelin gold medallist Peters, and his brother Kiddon Peters on August 10.
The captain and three crew members – Noel Cooper, 42, deckhand; John Alexander, 55 and sailors Mikhail John, 35 and Sheon Jack, 28, had last month pleaded guilty to the charges of causing harm and grievous harm to the brothers and were each fined a total of EC$5,500 (One EC dollar=US$0.37 cents).
The Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), Christopher Nelson, later stopped a private criminal matter being filed against the brothers after the former attorney general Cajeton Hood, representing the Trinidadian crew members of the Barbados-owned Harbor Master vessel, announced plans to file the private charges.
In a statement Wednesday, the lawyers representing the Peters said the “arrest of the ship was related to civil proceedings brought by the Peters brothers in the High Court of Grenada against the owners of the boat regarding the said harm and grievous harm.
“The arrest was effected through the Admiralty Division of the Court, on application by the Lawyers on record, Derick F Sylvester & Associates,” and that the “departure of ‘Harbor Master’ was the fruit of intensive negotiations between lawyers for the Peters brothers and lawyers for the ship.”
The statement said that the issue was the posting by the ship of proper security in the event of the boat being found liable in the High Court civil case.
The statement quoted one of the lawyers for the brothers as saying that “constructive, cordial and focused professional legal talks between the two teams of lawyers produced a mutually satisfactory conclusion to this stage of the matter.”
It said the High Court case would continue “normally.”
