My name is Kenny Morris and I reside in Codrington Barbuda. On Thursday 25th June 2022, I went to a party down by Riverside. While there I noticed a large crowd and some officers who were partying and drinking dressed in plain clothes. CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP FOR NEWS UPDATES.
Around Midnight, I heard a commotion on the beach, I can’t say what it was about then around 1am, I was sitting in a van when a group of people brought my friend to the van I was sitting in. I asked my friend what happened and he told me police pulled a gun on him and pointed it in his face. I replied loudly and said that that was stupidness. After that we left.
I was dropped home first and fell asleep in the same clothes I went to the party in. Sometime later I heard pounding on my door, I got up and put on the light. When I opened the door, there was an officer at the door dressed in blue suit, he pushed me further back inside the house and he came inside. It was while inside I recognized another 1 of the officers. A few other officers also came inside my house.
One officer put a black bag over my head, after that they started beating me in my house. I was being punched in my face and all over my body. Two of the officers dragged me outside and pushed me into a vehicle. The bag was still on my head. While in the vehicle they continued to beat me in my head. After we drove off I heard one of the officers say “ we going to kill you and hide your body”.
When I took the bag off my head, the officer kept on threatening me. A few minutes later, they pulled up at the police station and 2 officers dragged me inside. Another officer punched me in the back of my neck, then all of them started to slap me in my face, punch me in my head and kick me in my back. One of them kicked me to the ground. My face was to the ground when they continued to kick me. When I turned around, I saw the other 2 officers faces whom I recognize. They kicked me all over my face and told me not to look.
I received 2 blows on my shoulder with a 2X4. They then went for 4 chairs while I was on the ground. One of the chairs was put over my neck, another over my waist and another over my feet while one officer sat in front of me and told the other three to sit of the 3 remaining chairs. While sitting on the chairs they continued to threatened me.
The officer who sat facing me put his foot at the back of my head and pressed down with his foot 2 times. The other officers got up and removed the chairs they were sitting on while one of them took me up off the ground then an officer punched me in my head 2 times, then they all started to beat me again. While they were beating me,I blacked out.
When I woke up, I was on a chair sitting down and all my pockets were turned out , the money I had in my pocket was missing. They took me up from the chair and pushed me in a cell and told me to lock myself in, every time I put my hand to lock the door, one officer kept kicking my hand. I didn’t put my hand back out, one of the officers locked the cell door. I was taken back out of the cell and was beaten because I refused to sign something in a little black book, I eventually signed because I wanted the beating to stop. After I signed I was taken back into the cell.
I am calling on the Commissioner of Police to seriously investigate this matter, I was brutalized and continue to be in extreme pain daily as a result of the beating I endured. I did not do anything to be treated this way! I am crying out for help which is why I have made my story known to the public and will not rest until justice is served. If there is a Justice system it should go for all and not some persons in society. CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP FOR NEWS UPDATES.

This can’t be real
It sure is
This story sounds so insipid that I refuse to consider the merits of it. He’s leaving out many parts of this encounter. And how is he able to remember specifically the quantum of blows he received each time from each officer? How and when was released? Why were they threatening to “kill him” as he has alleged? What does his going to Riverside have to do with this story?
Every story has more than one side. Be more transparent with your account of the story. With all due respect, make it more believable.
Brother man Riverside is an area by the port River Dock.
The youth was there chillin in a van.
@Dave Ray: You are telling this person to be transparent. Why you do not tell Gaston Browne to open the Books of NYAMCO.NYAMCO is owned by the people. The people have a right to the records of that Corporation. That is what transparency means,open your damn Books for all to see. We also need to see the records of National Housing and Lands.
Please shut the fuck up Dave Ray. You live in a country that police beat people everyday and kill them for nothing. Pride month done in your nasty rasshole
It is a shame. I pray for my children daily because this mama wont leave no stones un turned. Ill go to and do the extreme for mines.
Is this a Hoax? If this was true. I do believed the people of Barbuda would not sit idly by and let it go. Did you go and seek medical attention? Did you consult with a Lawyer?
These are serious accusations. A beating like that will have left very obvious bruises etc on your body. They need to be documented, so go see a doctor, or at least have someone take pics with there phone.
Unless this story is just troublemaking and there is nothing to show
Similar view, but the possibility exist, I’ve seen it. Well, writer; all I can say is, the Moses law is still effective, make up your mind or live with it. You will not get justice.
This cannot be real. Sound like a black man living apartheid South Africa. I will really like to hear the outcome of an investigation , if there is any truth to this story. Sorry if you are really a victim and I sound this way. Unbelievable!
Frank Southwell. Please stop questioning people’s experiences.
If you want to find out about the APARTHEID, then talk to me.
My mother was shot in the Head outside the courthouse waiting for Mandela in 1963. I was in her arms.
My father was brutally murdered in 1987. He was hung, thorat slit, chest slashed open, eyes gauged out, so his eyes could watch his comrades being shot in the back from a firing squad.
And yes, my mother was an ANTIGUAN married to Samuel Abimbola from Nigeria. Look him up, as one of IWOLAND leaders.
Psalms 35 and 109 is enough to take care of a ling tongue who falsely accuses the innocents!
I pray that this story is not true. If it is, provide some context. A beating like that must leave physical scars. See a lawyer. See a doctor for there could be internal injuries.
This just sounds surreal and I do not intend to minimize anyone’s pain and suffering if it is real.
Why is this only coming out a whole month and a week after?
Because Gassy 🥸 was hoping to call the election and suppress this story until afterwards @ Joan.
I can’t wait for the POLITICAL demise of this cantankerous and awful human being.
HE’S NO LONGER FIT TO GOVERN MY BELOVED ANTIGUA 🇦🇬 …
I was j uh st say haffu novel me a read or movie me a dream ya this is just crazy n wicked I dont usually comment but this is just evil wha really a gwan in this place this just happened to the guy in the States it happened here what its.a.trend I am very disappointed to see this honestly
I am not doubting he was beaten by police. My question is why was he being beaten. Why did the police came to his home in the wee hours or the morning . He was by Riverside sitting all alone when his friend brought food for him and told him that police put a gun to his face and he said that was stupidness. Police have no rights to beat anyone. His story lack merit. He is still sleeping and dreaming. When he wake up he need to tell the story as it happened. Something is not right. If you want a Lawyer to fight your case, you need to tell the Lawyer the true story so that he defend you properly in court. Why were you single out in the midst of every body. Police do stupidness sometimes but it is hard to believe your story. If Martina Johnson was here, she would uncover the entire mystery
Hope you went to a doctor. This is very disturbing.
… And yet, home invasions are on the increase, rape and gun crimes are also prevalent in Antigua & Barbuda, however this wayward and out of touch government can find a garrison of policemen at a beach party to brutalise citizens on a night out!!!
NEVER EVER FORGET HOW INNOCENT ANTIGUANS WERE CONFRONTED BY GASTON’S HEAVY HANDED “BLACK-SHIRTS” WITH RUBBER BULLETS, TEAR GAS AND RIOT SHIELDS.
Our leader is so out of touch with dealings of crime and disorder …
CALL THE ELECTION NAH MAN, AH WHA MEK WID YOU?
Gassy, you make a FOOL look clever …
Too true.
Check me out on Facebook. Taina Abimola, just to see how things are looking for Gaston
I am sure he had to have done something and I am sure when they came to his door he was not cooperating with the officers possibly putting up a fight with them…Any officer in their right frame of mind would know that abusing his or her’s authority in that extreme manner especially without reason or cause for would come with consequences…I hope he went to a doctor and has the records to show so that a proper investigation can be conducted and if his unbelievable story is infact true the officers or demons will be brought to justice
What make you so sure?? It’s ok not to believe the story, but to say you’re sure dis an dat makes you a liar. If your weren’t there, you CAN’T be sure of anything.
You all talking like police don’t do these kinds of things. One day my brother was riding his bicycle from work and he got the beating of a life time from Antigua police because they found he looked suspecious. Smh. Some of these police are pigs in uniform

This smells like a Jussie Smolette hoax did he hire African brothers to set this hoax up?
Hoax or not .. this needs to be investigated and not just by the police .. you guys forget who is accused of killing Bruce?
Anna the fuss time something like this happening. If they can cover up murder what else they won’t do. What happen to 75% robbery to take part in. 75% the drug bust they profit from by taking a cut
