“So Close to Home”: A Family’s Grief
Authorities remained at the crime scene in the early hours of the morning.
“She was almost home, but she never made it.” These heartbreaking words came from a grieving relative of 9-year-old Chantel Crump, whose body was found in the bushes at Weatherhills on Saturday morning.
Chantel was a young girl full of promise, her future abruptly stolen for reasons still unknown.
As her remains were carefully placed into the hearse, anguished cries echoed from heartbroken family members, while others stood in silent sorrow, tears streaming down their faces.
The tragedy unfolded when Chantel was abducted while walking home from school with her friends.
“They told us she waved goodbye from the window of that gray car. She had no idea it was her final farewell—to them, to us, to life,” a family member shared at the scene.
The motive behind her killing remains a mystery.
Two individuals—a man and a woman—are currently in police custody as authorities prepare to release an official statement.

Chantell!!! oml, i prayed and prayed and prayed and baby this is the news i get? OH MY LORD. This is wrong! Death Penalty we call. She was only 9
Her cry didnt mean a thing? i’m sure this child was crying. Was it a sacrifice? dont these people have kids? They didnt feel anyway? oml. I can’t stop crying. Chantel did nothing to deserve this.
This is So Sad beyond words, We have to pull together and do something. As Antiguans we are usually All Talks, it’s Time for Action..!
Firstly, my deepest condolences to the family. I am so sorry that your little princesses Life has been cut short by these scum. My thoughts are with you.
I am sickened to the core.
Death penalty is too easy, first, they should be made to suffer till they wish they were dead.
I say we bring back hanging. This is WICKEDNESS pure &$+_;*# -ing wickedness. Humans are so damn EVIL.
What could the child have done to you
Find out the motive. Keep them alive until they talk, torture them, make them talk.
Then gather all involved and burn them alive.
Fire for the purification.
Make them talk all who involved.
Burn all of them involved alive.
As surely as the sun will rise all those persons involved will not know peace it will be far from them. Chantel blood cries out from the ground and God nah sleep.
This is so heinous! She probably saw something that they probably think she would talk about.
I my wildest of imagination I can not understand how some would want to have sex with a 9 year old. So this could not be their reason for abducting her and then murdered her.
God reveal this situation. You ONLY have all the answers to our questions.
Thank You for speedy justice on her behalf.
God hear our cries! 🙏
I pray that every evil alter be broken down and destroyed in Jesus’s Name. We expose every work of darkness and work of the occult, I tear down everything that exalts itself above the name of Jesus, I send the light of the Holy Spirit into every dark and secret place in this nation to expose, tear down, pluck up and destroy every evil work.
Sad Chantel was a victim but God is exposing the darkness of the enemy.
The covenant blood of Jesus prevails.
No words at all. She was only 9yrs. There is something going on in this 268 n we must unite to find out what it is.
Sincerest condolences to Chantel’s entire family.
My heart bleeds for this. As a mother, I am hurting for Chantel right now!!!
