Authorities have confirmed that a post-mortem examination has been completed on the body of slain businessman George “Charlie” Barnes, as police continue their investigation into his killing.
Government Pathologist Dr. Petra Miller-Nanton performed the examination on September 29, according to reliable sources. However, police have not released the official findings, citing the ongoing nature of the homicide investigation.
Barnes, 74, a well-known gas station owner, was shot and killed outside his home on Nugent Street, Ottos Newtown, around 10:20 p.m. on September 12. Reports indicate he had just arrived home when an unidentified gunman approached and opened fire, striking him in the chest before fleeing the scene.
The murder of the respected businessman sparked widespread grief and anger across Antigua and Barbuda, particularly within the business community, where Barnes was admired for his dedication and generosity.
Investigators say they are pursuing several leads but have not determined a motive.

Have the Police determine the motive of the murder of Asot Micheal?
This place is a joke. I guess they’re using this to highlight and make us see the reason of Shantel result not being released not even to her family, but I know the Barnes sisters in Florida will get their result.
Asot case will never come to light.
It’s heartbreaking to see a businessman targeted like this. Justice needs to be swift so the community can feel safe again.
Fether please we beg deal with that wicked person or persons who committed this heinous act
We will remember you Charlie….No other businessman should die this way
Still can’t believe Charlie’s gone. Such a kind man, always had a smile and a good word for everyone. Rest in peace.
