  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. Exactly what is the stama of the death penalty sentence in Antigua and Barbuda? Some enlightenment on this subject would be appreciated.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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

  12. 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.

  13. 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 .

  14. well if UPP can cast aside Shawn Nicholas and “reward” a GUNMAN KILLER with a spot on their ticket instead. Maybe this fella can be promoted to Party Leader!

  15. Y do u murder ppl n get 30 years.that is life without parole.. that is telling others they can murder. N get away.u murder someone in cold blòod. That is DEATH sentence

  16. Wowww just like that???
    I don’t give a Fuck About what some of you have to say………..because I’m sure if it was your family you’d want this Scumbag to spend the rest of his miserable life behind bars!!!

  17. He did his time, 30 years.
    There are many many many more person’s who have committed murder done their time and are now free.
    Which means some of them would have served even less time than he did.
    I this country we have very short memory.
    I can think of at least 15 people that I know who committed murder and are now free.
    Some of them even work for. The government presently..
    Most of them live productive lives, unless someone tells you who they are you wouldn’t even know.
    Because 18 years to 22 years is enough time for Antiguans to forget something that didn’t really affect them personally.
    The victims family will never forget am sure of that. They will never forget.
    He d8d his time.

  18. The hypocrisy is astounding. This man has served his time and also has to bare the fruits of his actions mentally. Why condemn then “praise” another? Way u bin dey wen dem kill off Jesus? De man dem way nail him up, ah wey dem deh??? Ah no prison dem did fi go to, so to speak?
    Mr. Addijah Palmer alias Vybz Kartel is being praised; his songs have more airplay than the word of God and is a “likeable” individual by many so he is given a pass, right?
    Remember nuff ah we have kids. Do we know the end game???? Plenty ah unuh touch/molested nuff family members and other “people pickney” when you were younger and probably still do. How many of us ask God to forgive us Sunday after Sunday??? Saturday after Saturday?? Everyday? Yet we go about our daily lives doing the same things expecting different results and to be forgiven.

  19. Even though this murderer has served his time, I and many other citizens would like to know if he could end up living next door us – we have a right to know!

    I’m sure Browne wouldn’t want him as a neighbour?

    TARL!!!
