Chad Anglin (34) was found guilty of the murder of Swiss banker, Fredrick Bise, by a 12 person jury in Grand Cayman’s Crown Court on Tuesday (20).

Justice Alex Henderson then gave Anglin the mandatory life sentence.

The case was the first one brought to court by the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service’s Cold Case Unit some 6 years after the banker was murdered.

Bise was found dead with multiple face, head and neck fractures in the back of his own SUV that had been set on fire in Mount Pleasant, West Bay.

The murder had been described as a “hate killing” as Bise had been said to have had homosexual tendencies and Aglin had openly expressed his dislike of ‘gay’ persons.

Anglin is serving a five year sentence for a sexual attack on a woman.

Another West Bay man will face similar charges for Bise’s murder as the Crown say two men committed the crime.
