« Directory assistance calls to cost more | Today | Beacon Mutual board meeting again tonight » April 26, 2006Tortola taking 'fresh look' at Swain caseLaw enforcement officials in Tortola said today they have requested certified transcripts and other evidence used in the civil wrongful death case against Jamestown scuba shop owner David Swain. The Tortola officials said the move was part of their "fresh look" into the 1999 death of Swain's wife, Shelley Tyre. Tyre, 46, drowned during a scuba diving vacation with Swain and another couple during a vacation off the Caribbean Island. In February, following a nine-day trial, a Providence jury determined that Swain acted with "malice aforethought" in killing his wife of 51/2 years. Tyre's parents, Richard and Lisa Tyre of Jamestown, brought the wrongful-death suit against Swain alleging he killed their daughter for money at a time when he was pursuing a relationship with another woman and knowing that a prenuptial agreement would leave him none of his wife's assets if the two divorced. Swain is appealing the jury's finding. -- Journal staff writer Tom Mooney Posted by Steve Peoples CommentsPost a commentPlease be civil.
