The mother of the country\u2019s latest murder victim said she didn\u2019t deserve to lose her son in such a tragic manner.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Dave Anthony, a 45-y<\/span>ear-old chef, was shot to death at his Potters home last Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe it. I can\u2019t believe he\u2019s dead. He\u2019s going to come and talk to me. Oh Lord help me!\u201d, Angela Roberts cried as she struggled to come to terms with her son\u2019s untimely passing.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Anthony was reportedly shot multiple times through a metal door at the back of his house.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

According to reports, the mother had left the country last week, then received the news of her son\u2019s death a few days later.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cNo mother in this world deserve to lose a child like that. Your child is sick, and they die, or they get in a car accident\u201d, said the mother.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cWhen Dave put his hand in that pot, if it\u2019s hot water, it tastes good. His hand has a seasoning in it that no matter what he cooks it tastes good, the woman said of the chef as she tried to recall better days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Roberts said Anthony\u2019s death has had a major effect on the family especially his twin-sister, who lives in the United States.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\u201cShe cannot ketch herself in America. They had to send her home from work\u201d, the mother said adding the siblings were very close, \u201cthey are like peas in a pod. Dave can\u2019t say he want a dollar in Antigua, and she don\u2019t Western Union it for him\u201d.<\/span><\/div>\n
