  1. I can’t believe police say they want Information but didn’t give any description of the person..other than a st Johnson’s village woman .. we have to do better than this ..

  2. Please let this not be a cover up like Nigel. Condolences to the family, demand answers. Rest in peace government offecers. These are the people who protect us day and nite on our boarder, don’t cover this one up, like the last.

  3. It appears as if Customs is becoming a very dangerous place to work. Looks as if the employees there will soon be calling for some kind of risk allowance.

      • You can image a man whose profession is a lawyer an officer of the court always on the internet spreading gossip and hearsay. Makes you wonder what type of legal represention he offers his clients that isif he has any.

  4. FOR+REAL and JB I expected such a comment from one of you imbeciles. What evidence do you want to get? I am well within my rights to speculate or hypothesize on any issue. We still do not know whether Nigel Christian or Cornel Hughes incidents were related to their employment at Customs. That is for the police to diligently and properly do their investigation to provide the answers. However, in the absence of answers that does make speculation or hypothesizing wrong or out of order. Without speculation and hypothesis the world would not have benefitted from all the scientific and technological advancement that we now enjoy. Your puerile, pedantic criticism can therefore be ignored.

    • Takes an inbeciels to know one Tabor and for a lawyer you sure are a dumb one. You always with your political drivers and your clients only seems to be those of a political nature. The circumstances of that poor lady’s death have not even been determined yet but you a lawyer who should know better spending your conspiracy theories. Now wonder the head of the bar association says there are not much criminal lawyers in Antigua cause if People would have to rely on the likes of you Tabor they best represent themselves in court.

      • @JB
        How dare you call Tabor an imbecile? You can’t even spell the word. Mr. Tabor is right to ask questions. This is the third person that I am aware of from customs attacked, two killed and one shot. Sensible people would question whether these crimes are related. Do you know something about these crimes as you seem to be very irritated.

        • So he was right to call me an inbeciel? He walking making his speculations with out any proof and cause i called his dunce ass you you vex. Just gimme a break. If y’all know something get off the internet and tell the police no have a nice day jackass

          • @ JB .You seem to be a very angry person .YOU ARE AN IMBECILE AND ASININE.
            I PRAY FOR THE IGUANA 🦎 I MEAN WOMAN THAT LAY NEXT TO YOU AT NIGHT .

          • JB you are not learning even simple spelling. JP pointed out to you that you are not spelling the word imbecile correctly and you still come back with your incorrect spelling (inbeciel). Again JB, speculation and proof are mutually exclusive. That is how even science progresses. You have speculation and hypothesis then you try to find the evidence (proof). Is that too difficult a concept for you to understand? I need to refer you to the work of Thomas Kuhn (The Structure of Scientific Revolutions) and also the work of Imrie Lakatos. I know it will tough reading and difficult for you to understand but give it your best effort.

  5. JB instead of attacking the messenger why don’t you focus on the message and stop wallowing in the gutter with your partisan politics. I made a statement and apparently it is driving you and others crazy because, as you say, there is no evidence for my statement. Does one need evidence to speculate or hypothesize on an issue. I am sure you are a good Christian, do you have evidence that God exist? Please give me a break with your nonsensical comments.
