Opposition Leader condemns killing of Chantel Crump
and calls for justice for her family and the Nation
As Opposition Leader and Political Leader of the United Progressive Party (UPP), I extend my most profound condolences to the parents, siblings, and extended family of Chantel Crump, who has become “The Nation’s Daughter.”
Her tragic loss touches every member of our community, and we stand united in grief, mourning together as one national family.
The murder of a CHILD is unconscionable. We condemn those responsible for this terrible crime, which our society must ensure never happens again. Every child, every citizen, and every resident of this country has the fundamental RIGHT to live in peace, safety, and security.
Already, too many families bear the wounds of unresolved tragedy and absence of closure. Therefore, I call upon Prime Minister Gaston Browne, Public Safety Minister Sir Steadroy Benjamin, and all Police authorities to commit every available resource to investigating this outrageous act.
I take this opportunity to thank Acting Commissioner Jeffers on the work he has done on this case, so far. Chantel’s family and the people of Antigua and Barbuda deserve nothing less than complete accountability, and we demand that anyone involved in this atrocity, directly or indirectly, be swiftly brought to justice.
May the soul of this innocent child rest in eternal peace, and may her family find strength and comfort during this time of unimaginable grief.

Enough statement! Sun cyah Rise and Dem two na DEAD
Can’t you be the first for a change??? Unimpressed!
Demanding justice. Bring back the death penalty!! NOW!
@Swift justice the death penalty is still on our law books. However, the Privy Council which is our final Court of Appeal says it should only be imposed in the worse of the worse cases. I say that the abduction and murder of the child Chantal Crump cannot get any worse and the death penalty should imposed if the perpetrators are found guilty.
THE DEATH PENALTY IS STILL ON THE BOOKS AND RESERVED FOR THE WORST OF THE WORST. THE DELIBERATE MURDER AND MUTILATION OF POOR CHANTEL CRUMP IS IN FACT THE WORST OF THE WORST. IT IS THE SINGLE MOST HORRIFIC CRIME IN ANTIGUA IN OVER 50 YEARS. JUSTICE MUST BE SRRVED AND AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. THIS IS NOT ABOUT REVENGE! THIS IS ABOUT JUSTICE AND THERE’S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REVENGE AND JUSTICE!
Pringle, some of us know that the placard was not a fake.
@ faithful national: nooo! Don’t kill them so quick, are you a government agent that would want them silent from talking about the higher up and the supposedly organ smuggling ring? I must check your true motives.
