  1. This is an unfortunate sad disturbing situation. Loosing a love one caused by a traumatic event that is heart wrenching.

    Take note how this matter is being discussed and handled which calls for some inquiries and analysis.

    She was giving a beach tour as a business. She was obviously an entrepreneur who saw value in such an activity.

    This raises the question. What are the value of Antiguans. Is it just a vote or votes?

    When will the powers that be create an environment for local to be more entrepreneurs.

    When is the Government of Antigua and Barbuda going to “Level the playing field for Antiguans snd Barbudans?”

    When will our lives seen if equal value?

    Sure the Police should investigate this crime; but is the decease being given special treatment by The Government in her death ?

    When will we be given special treatment? The so called little man and woman who pay high taxes and vote for them needs equal treatment.

  2. Which begs a vital question: This incident occurred on the 19th of December. Yet, the Antiguan Barbuda Police Force are now releasing the details!!!

    Why so late?

    Is tourism crimes being hushed up like the waves of criminal activities across the country as well?

    I really don’t understand how we do things in this country anymore.

  4. Is this a crime of business competition? When I heard of the incident that was the first thought that came to mind. My gut feeling tells me it is along that line. Who is the young man in custody? Is he someone that is operating a similar business?

  5. You see how the police mean business when it comes to color or country? Them even hold someone to appease the American authorities, that person could be totally innocent like how the USA just do to black people.
    The disgusting miscreant that murder this lady will suffer, shame on you that your parents brought you into this world and you chose to erase the future generation of your family by this way of thanking your grandparents.
