Police have arrested and charged a 64-year-old man in connection with the disappearance of a teenage girl in St Kitts and Nevis.

Selwyn Pringle, also known as ‘Judge,’ of Dieppe Bay, was arrested on Thursday by officers from the Violent Crime Unit of the Royal St Christopher and Nevis Police Force.

He is charged for kidnapping and false imprisonment charges related to the disappearance of 15-year-old Janelika Romney of New Guinea.

Romney was last seen in her school uniform on June 16.

A few days ago, the police said they had reason to believe that she is alive and had been in contact with several persons.

They now say they are continuing their intensive search efforts to locate Romney and bring her home safely.
