Magistrate Ngaio Emmanuel will on Friday hand down her sentence on Riccardo McKenzie, 28, a Jamaican residing at Sutherlands, after he pleaded guilty to possessing of a 9mm automatic pistol and seven rounds of ammunition in court on Wednesday.
The charges arose from an August 19 incident where police, acting on certain information, intercepted a vehicle in Green Castle, Bendals, and found the firearm and ammunition.
McKenzie and 34-year-old O’Neil Swaby were initially charged together, but Swaby pleaded not guilty, leading to the dismissal of charges against him.

However, following the dismissal of the case against him, Swaby was immediately taken into custody by Immigration Officials for violating the country’s immigration laws. He was subsequently ordered to be deported.
He has since been returned to Jamaica.
The Immigration Department said it is cognizant of the concerns expressed by the Prime Minister Gaston Browne regarding non-nationals who find themselves involved in gun-related crimes and his preference to have these individuals deported when they are found to be in violation of the nation’s laws.

The Immigration Department said it is a policy that it is already implementing.

Well the one who took the charge has the wrong name they need to get in touch with the Jamaica police force and they will find out he is wanted for murder and he should not be allowed to waste our time let Jamaica deal with him for killing
Just the look pan fu he face spells CRIMINAL. I hope there is a database with pictures of these deportees so when dem try to return with fake documents they’ll be caught. And there should be some kind of coordination between immigration in Antigua and immigration in the USA, UK, & Canada on deportees to Caribbean islands –
making them ineligible for entrance into Antigua. In this technological age, this should be too hard to do.
Too many criminals from other countries are ending up here…Tap weh aru barn!
Na sarry dey!
screen all foreigners in Antigua, especially them Jamaicans!!! Too much money a pass for extra time and too much human trafficking going on. check the police, soldiers and coast guards alot of them into bad things their lifestyle don’t match their salary. ONCP check their accounts check their belongings now!!! too much underhand dealings
These are the kinds of people we have in Antigua and Barbuda. Plenty of them commit crimes in them country and then flee to Antigua for refuge. We have to be more careful of the people we allow entry into our homeland. I am not against anyone but we have been too liberal, lenient and open to everybody and as a result we have been infiltrated by tons of foreign criminals and gangsters.
That is what you should have been doing a long,long,time ago.They come into our house Antigua.They break our laws in our house.They should be deported,forthwith.That is what other countries have been doing.You have to protect the borders of Antigua and Barbuda,by any means necessary.You come to Antigua,respect our damn Laws while there or be arrested and be deported never to return.
He’ll be back!
I don’t see a deportation here, I see a protection scheme instigated probably by cutie Benjamin, what news could this Jamaican swabby spill? Someone don’t want him to talk, the police didn’t even get 24 hours interrogating him before the minister agenda is executed, that’s how politicians pervert the course of justice then turn around and curse the judiciary , so crazy to let go this man because his buddy friend decide he will take the rap.
I know oniel for many yrs the other two can die for all I cared but oniel ain’t a criminal that’s why he plead not guilty because he had no idea his so call frenz were carrying a gun never known him to be bad he’s work construction all his time here always picking up work here an there but as I say careful the company u keep my Antiguan ex did this to me already police was doing spot check here an I had no idea he had a gun illigal gun he pull over an hide it behind a tree in bushes an I left him dat same afternoon I won’t loose my freedom for no one!!
life is too sweet this why I dnt know why ppl turn criminal
plenty of dem a say dem a barber and can’t trim like the ones that can’t to back to Jamaica and now in Guyana a playing badman we a watch them too
As have happened in the pass, it will not be long before he is back in antigua, despite the deportation.
I’ll bet if the police are able to round up a lot more of them we’ll see a decline in crime. Plenty ah dem ah hard core criminals that are running from crimes they’ve committed back home. Antigua is too small to harbor these kinds of individuals. And until the politicians starts putting country ahead of their political careers, we the citizens will continue to suffer at the hands of these types of ppl. We, 🇦🇬ns are tired of it.
Like the flou grams and three trees,the abundant presence of foreigners in Antigua and Barbuda is a product of ALP’s quest to stay in power at all cost. “For your eyes only,” chronicles all these tactics. They let everyone and everything into our country,with no plan or structure to manage them. Now our country,our schools and healthcare system is overrun with them.
Now the crimes. It has crawled back to bite them on the a$$.
I said before and will say it again,the backwarness,poor infrastructure,bad roads,and retartadation in our fair state is mostly,if not completely attributable to corrupt,greedy,incompetent ALP politicians. Too much money circulates in Antigua and Barbuda for us to be so awful in so many ways.
The dunce must be removed along with tge rest of the jokers if this country is to ever progressed.
But the 20 year old involved in the one at yepton is Antiguan. Which crime is greater.
You see how things turn around

Do forensics on the gun .. let’s see how many murders happen with it ..
you Jamaicans that clean boat we a watch you too yall like to rob the people on the yachts somebody soon buss a shot in one a of you again
My political ideology is my country first, both UPP and ALP always have some concessions for foreigners as soon as them win, the millennials act done by UPP and the unending amnesty done by ALP, and foreigners are given land just so in disregard to the alien land license act, and these fly by night passport sale to white mafia’s by Gaston brown, that passport scheme initiated by UPP has be put on steroid by Gaston brown, but I defend my country and not politicians.
so is he the one they say committed crime before leave Jamaica????
if so how did he comitt the crime hes been here 14 yrs an never gwaan back Jamaica to live he came here wen he was around 22 or 23 am trying figure out wen he comity the crime cause all his life he been living in Antigua struggling with construction to support his daughter am not judging jus asking if they got the right person who committed the crime in Jamaica an up on his visit there 2020 how wasn’t he arrested wen he went visit his family the two weeks this jus doesn’t sound right to me
an I dnt blame him I would plead not guilty because he never knew his fren had carried a gun with him this wat happen wen you run go buy illigal gun an tslk vrsb about protecting yourself from person who robbing ppl out there best he did buy a cutlass
And this is why we have a problem,everywhere Jamaicans g they leave a trail of nastiness,robberies they are the parasites of countries.
Screen every one of dem,and keep a database
Not only all visitors,the amount of digs and guns these people are bringing
They think that we are stupid people here
To tear down which Antigua?
Everyone is upset with the UK but everyone is protecting their borders
That open policy has caused a serious influx of even vincentians Spanish
Me tired get rid of the criminals.
We need to seriously look into those artists coming here and don’t have anything positive to elevate the youth Mr prime Minister. That’s one way you should be looking
Welcome to Jamrock!
Anyone who violates the immigration laws should be deported and banned from ever returning.
If I did that in any country they would do it to me.
@Just Looking, we would prefer no crimes gets committed in Antigua; however, if crimes are going to be committed here, then it SHOULDN’T be foreigners doing it. Go ah unu yard an commit crime dey, SEEN! Arwe deal wid arwe criminals yah.
