Nearly two years after the tragic accident that claimed the life of an AUA student, the case against Karim Edwards remains delayed.
A ruling on a no-case submission, initially set for September 11 and rescheduled to September 19, has been postponed again due to the absence of the defendant’s attorney.
Edwards is accused of causing the October 2022 collision that killed 21-year-old Kenneth Mathew and severely injured Priyanjana Das, but committal proceedings have yet to commence.

Justice for the victims of the two aforementioned traffic “accidents”” and equally so for the two Medical students mowed down by an alleged drunk driver with ties to influential person(s) within the legal fraternity. I will be watching closely all the judicial tricks and gimmicks to try to allow Mr. Edwards to walk free of this serious charge.
Justice for Andrea Hughes and her 9 children
When will we see in court the driver who killed Ande Simon two years ago?
One died and another maimed for life, her life altered forever. Be a man and face justice!
When you all realise the power that the membership of certain esteemed “organisations” gets you a clean slate, freedom from crimes and “delayed infinity” cases, then u will see how high up the bullshit goes!!!!
This Country of Antigua and the Justice System is so Corrupt.Mr Edwards is a Member of the Lodge and the Lodge has strong influence within the Justice System.We are watching closely to see the outcome of this case.We know that they are trying very hard to dismiss this case because this Justice System is so Corrupt.
Come on! Who’s really surprised at this development?
Bwoy, if I was a gambling man, I would have made an absolute fortune predicting all if of these inevitable delays.
It seems like Karim Edwards has friends in very high places – my country needs cleansing from “perceived” corrupt practices.
My thoughts and prayers 🙏🏽 will continue for justice for the family of the deceased and the young lady who lost her arm.
A poor young lady accidentally knocked down a teen on Terrill’s main road. He was in a bicycle twisting and turning on the busy highway. Despite the cry’s she was dragged into the court and was eventually charged for manslaughter. She was not driving recklessly. And was not drunk. Her life was destroyed.
I know that the family of the young man was also and still is in pains. I pleaded with them to have mercy. That he was already gone and stop pushing for her to be changed with murder or manslaughter. Eventually the charges were upgraded.
At least,when they bottom hole is broken…the fellows brothers and SISTAS..guaranteed a safe unpunished future.
This happen globally.
If the public only knows how deep this rabbit hole is it would turn this nation on it’s head…
If you have nothing to offer the team but carrying water then you’re always expendable remember that.
P.S
Positions are still available for sacrificial lambs
