Si­lence con­tin­ues to sur­round the ar­rest of Do­minic Hadeed, his wife Genevieve and a 69-year-old rel­a­tive by law en­force­ment au­thor­i­ties, who are in­ves­ti­gat­ing the cou­ple for rea­sons they have not made pub­lic.

For a sec­ond con­sec­u­tive day since they were ar­rest­ed on Wednes­day, po­lice of­fi­cials yes­ter­day re­fused to re­spond to ques­tions by the me­dia on what had led to the cou­ple’s ar­rest af­ter a search of their West­moor­ings home and the fam­i­ly’s Blue Wa­ters Lim­it­ed busi­ness in Trinci­ty.

Their rel­a­tives and friends al­so main­tained their dis­tance yes­ter­day, with even their at­tor­neys, Faris Al-Rawi and Gilbert Pe­tersen, SC, re­fus­ing to an­swer calls.
