State media reported today that murderer Mellanson Harris is now a free man after serving 30 years in Prison.
He is responsible for one of Antigua and Barbuda’s most notorious killing.
Harris was convicted of killing 4 tourists on the Challenger yacht in 1994.
Harris and his accomplice Marvin Joseph had their sentences commuted after the death penalty was deemed unconstitutional.
His co-accused remains in prison.

He belongs in Prizon with no chance of paroll
This picture is not Harris
A so antigua system just free a serial killer, in other countries is life u get wtf. Suppose he start kill tourist or locals again omg! Sick!
When he kills again, the family should sue EVERYBODY that set him free
He’s not a serial killer. Stop the nonsense. He was given 30 in the penitentiary and he served his time. He is older and perhaps wiser now. I don’t condone his decision to commit such heinous at a young age, but who knows what was the cause of his poor judgment?
He is now a free man who ought to be given an opportunity to live without any further judgment.
Better to be a killer than the victim. Life goes on for the killer. The death penalty is unconstitutional so no matter how many people a killer murders his life is precious.
In my opinion,he should be sent to a half way house for rehabilitation.After that he should then be released into the regular society.
@side viewer: under the picture above of Harris.Do you see the word screenshot.
So he was just let out without supervision. Do you
Know if he had a change of heart or he is still capable of killing
Wouldn’t mind he find you an kill yuh an You family cuz you talk to much a person like that should live his days in jail till he’s dead
Exactly what is the stama of the death penalty sentence in Antigua and Barbuda? Some enlightenment on this subject would be appreciated.
His victims’ daughter has forgiven him. It is for society now to do the same. I do not know the man but I pray he has had time to reflect and that he is given a chance to make himself a worthy man. Yes, we need to be vigilant if we come around hm but also have a little grace.
A little grace to practice what God has taught us and be our brother’s keeper.
I pray within the gray walls he learnt a skill that he can put to use for this society will be looking down on him still. I think he said he gave his life to God so I hope and I pray he will live the Living Word.
Listen I have mixed emotions about this one. 30 years and he was given a life in prison sentence yet persons have to wait until they’re damn near 70 to retire.
You’re not even eligible for early retirement after serving for 30years in government service but he commits that heinous crime and is out after 30 years? Make it make sense please.
I want to see how he looks now, don’t want him near anybody for me
About Phuking Time
Wow. I would love to hear of the nature in which he killed these people. I was not even born when that happened, thats crazy.
This is disgusting
Antigua loose y are u letting a killer out in society so he can boost about being a criminal these a encouraging ppl to commit more crimes it will get worst in antigua.ah u dunce nf
I was just a kid at the time living in Barbuda when news of the individuals rocked the island. Fingers were being point at all foreigners for the crime. Unfortunately, it took the work of the Scotland Yard detectives to unravel the case within a couple of days. These guys were just misguided teenagers whom had no idea of the true consequences of their actions at the time. Hopefully, our society gives him an opportunity to serve his community well and he uses his experience to guide our younger rascals to engage in positive development for themselves.
He should have never been freed!!
Of course Dave is going to sympathize with him The guy has been in prison for thirty years ,obviously thirsty . Dave can’t wait to meet him .
this man has served his time. “Neither do I condemn you. Go and SIN NO MORE!!!”
