“Officers remain on scene conducting enquiries, and investigations into the circumstances surrounding this incident are ongoing,” they added at about 2pm.
Police confirmed to Anguilla Focus that no arrests have been made. The victim has not yet been named.
The death comes just days after Romaine Ovardo Carby, a 35-year-old Jamaican national from South Hill, was found dead near a burnt-out car in Bad Cox on 7 January.
There were 11 homicides recorded in Anguilla during 2025 – with no charges brought in any of the cases.
Six homicides were recorded in 2024, with charges brought in just one of those cases. Five homicides were recorded in 2023, again with charges brought in just one case.
In September 2024, police told Anguilla Focus that lack of charges could be attributed to the “unique challenges” presented by each case.
