  1. The young man is going to need some serious help and support. I hope and pray he fins the healing, peace, comfort, strength and forgiveness to endure afer this dark tragedy

  2. Has the man already been found guilty as per the first letter issued by the PM, second to last sentence?

  3. Happy to hear the young man is still alive. I do not understand how such false information about his death could have been presented to to the media. I do not know the family but this is a very tragic event that would negatively impact any one. I hope that the cancer of domestic violence in the society will be addressed by all agencies as well as the whole process of socialization. I sincerely hope that the young man will be able to deal with this tragic situation going forward in the future.

    • UPP itself is a cancer so I join you on this one. Lets pray that all form of cancer is eroded from society. Amen.

      • Prayer warrior it is so sad we haffu politicize every thing in the country. Anyway ABLP is the biggest cancer and sore foot this country has ever seen.

  4. The Domestic Violence Laws need a major overhaul. If the suspect committed the heinous act as alleged in 2017. He should not be walking around a free man in Antigua and Barbuda to commit the ultimate act of murder.

    Just my opinion. The law needs to take away the ability to prosecute or not prosecute away from the victim. Reference the “OJ Law” in the USA. The DPP needs to empowered with that decision. Domestic Violence is a serious societal plague. It needs the maximum attention of the Legislature.

    This young woman would be alive today if they ingrate and controlling man would have been held accountable for his actions 4 years ago.

    The Police and the prosecutorial authorities cannot and should not leave it up to the woman or man (victim)who get “bang up” whether to prosecute or not.

    If you can’t take the knuckle. Go kill yourself. Not the woman. Pour some brake fluid over ice and enjoy yourself.

  5. Just to add. He would have been tried, convicted, sentenced and upon completion of his sentence deported back to Jamaica. If prosecution was not the option of the victim but rested with the Police and DPP back in 2017.

    The young lady would be alive today!

  6. I have a question. Why is Gaston responsible for the passport division? He is finance minister and controls all the revenue generating entities in Antigua. I guess he needs to be in control of who gets Antiguan passports. What happened to the case of the policeman from St. Vincent involved with the production of Antiguan passports?

    • The case with the police man 👮‍♀️is a dead case. Only the poor people cases for small portions of marijuana are the most highest priority.

  7. If she loved herself AND SAW WHAT HAPPEND IN 2017 as GOD sparring her life to take her LIFE MORE SERIOUSLY SEEK THERAPHY….PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION WHO SHE REALLY ENCOURAGES IN HER LIFE ( we dnt have control over who likes us. UT WE DO HAVE CONTROL OVER WHO WE ENTERTAIN……SHE WOULD BE ALIVE ..

    THIS IS CLEARLY A CASE OF A WOMAN WITH LOW SELF ESTEEM & HATRED FOR HERSELF…WE TEACH PPL HOW TO TREAT US ….IF SHE VALUED & LOVED ON HERSELF MORE SHE WOULD STILL WOULD HAVE BEEN ALIVE AND NOT DEAD…

    I HOPE THIS EVIL ACT OPENS WOMEN EYES TO LOVE THEMSELVES UNCONDITIONALLY A
    ..REMOVE THEMSELVES FROM ANY ABUSIVE MAN ..HOW MANY TIMES HES GONNA SAY SORRY / I WONT TO IT AGAIN ….AND DID IT. A FEW MORE TIMES AGAIN..ITS BEST TO BE ALONE THAN KNOWINLY BE WITH THE WRONG MAN…

    I PERSONALLY KNEW HER….. WE TRIED WE TRIED TO GET HER AWAY SHE JUS WOULDNT LISTEN..MY PRAYERS ARE WITH DESUREY…JOANNE….SON & DAUGHTER WHO HAS TO GO OVER THIS ANQUISH AGAIN.

  8. He is probably a good friend with the PM that’s why we haven’t heard anything about the passport scandal and many high officials are involved . Those events seems stone worthy when corruption is involved with high officials
