Here\u2019s what the PM said on March 15:<\/strong>\u00a0Prime Minister Gaston Browne said arrests in the Nigel Christian\u2019s murder probe could be made soon.<\/p>

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

On Monday, Browne told Observer Media that \u201csignificant progress would have been made and I\u2019m sure that within a matter of maybe a week, a few weeks that arrests will be made.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He said, \u201cthose individuals so concerned who are involved in the heinous act will obviously be brought to justice.\u201d<\/p>

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

Christian, a senior customs officer, was reportedly abducted by four men from his home in McKinnons around 5:30 pm on Friday, July 10, 2020.<\/p>

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

He was later found on a dirt road at Thibous in the vicinity of New Winthorpes with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body.<\/p>\n

Since then several protests have been organized by people calling for justice in the case.<\/p>

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

\u201cI can reassure the people of Antigua and Barbuda that we have made available all resources to bring the perpetrators to justice,\u201d Browne insisted.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister also dismissed accusations that there was a cover-up to protect politicians and well-connected people.<\/p>

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

He insisted anyone who made these allegations were \u201cbeing malicious.\u201d<\/p>

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

\u201cAt this time, I just don\u2019t have the appetite for that type of engagement. This is a time when we require some level of unity, some level of constructive discourse to address the challenges of COVID,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, you know, I\u2019ll just literally ignore those politically mischievous comments and to focus on the challenge at hand and that is the issue of COVID to bring COVID under control and to return our country to normalcy as soon as possible,\u201d the Prime Minister added.<\/p>\n
