Chanel Petro-Nixon
She was a 16 year old honor student when she was found strangled to death in Brooklyn, New York in 2006.
She wanted to be a psychiatric nurse.
Chanel was good at listening to others' problems.
She left her Brooklyn apartment on father's day 2006 to meet a friend she knew from church.
She never returned home.
Cops initially listed Chanel as a runaway.
Four days later, her body was found folded up in a garbage bag, stuffed in a trash can.
The autopsy report stated that she had been hit in the face and head and strangled to death.
Veron Primus, the friend that she went to go meet, was now the number one person of interest, because he was the last person to seen her alive.
They couldn't find any evidence to link him to her murder.
A few years later, he was charged, but ultimately acquitted for the sexual assault of two women.
He had a restraining order against him for trying to hold a third woman against her will.
He violated that order and went to prison.
On May 2015, he was released and deported to St. Vincent Island.
There he met Mewanah and she became his girlfriend.
The relationship turned violent and he held her captive in a make shift dungeon for three and a half months.
She tried to escape through a window, but Primus caught her.
Primus took a video of him digging a grave by that window and showed the video to Mewanah.
One day Primus was cooking, he had Mewanah in the room with him.
He went outside to wash a pot.
Mewanah took this opportunity to put a note by a bottle of his great aunt's insulin.
His great aunt lived upstairs.
The caretaker for the aunt found the note and called police.
Primus made Mewanah give a fake name to police.
As the police were about to leave, the care taker said that the girl is really Mewanah and she was being held captive.
Mewanah was now free.
Primus was arrested on kidnapping charges.
As the police searched his place they found evidence to the stabbing murder of St. Vincent real estate agent, Sharleen Greaves.
Primus is now charged with Charlene's murder.
NYPD detectives flew down to the island to speak with Primus, who voluntarily spoke with them before asking for a lawyer.
Then the detectives spoke with Mewanah.
She told detectives that Primus told her that he didn't kill Chanel, but he knew who did.
In June 2016, Veron Primus had been formally charged with Chanel Petro-Nixon's murder.
As of 2017, Primus is being held in St. Vincent, awaiting trial for the unrelated murder of Sharleen Greaves.
