I commend you Sir for coming out and talking to the demonstrators outside of the Police Headquarters. Mr Acting Commissioner Jeffers, as you are well aware, there is massive public interest in this case. I am pleading with the police to ensure that all “I” are dotted and “T’s” crossed even as the police question the suspects and gather potential forensic evidence. We cannot afford this case to reach the courts only to be dismissed and tossed out on technicalities. It is also very important that this matter reaches the courts in quick time so the police prosecution must work diligently to ensure accuracy and readiness in preparation for a speedy trial. Please do this for the child’s parents and the citizens at large.
I am very impressed with the commissioners professionalism. We are getting regular updates, and he seems to be making every effort to make sure things are done in the right order.
Let’s keep up the support and remember these things happen. It’s all about how we heel and like the commissioners professionalism, we as a country must be civil and measured.
We are Antiguans, the Kings and Queens of the Caribbean.
Yes, the Acting Commissioner is leader ingri from the front and is really doing a great job so far.
@Audley, very good comments, we can all agree with you in believe.
