Tattoo Artist ‘Mongoose’ Jailed for Firearm Offences
SOURCE: ABS- Oszie Kelvin Russell, better known as ‘Mongoose’ will spend the next three and a half years at His Majesty’s Prison, after being sentenced this morning for Illegal Possession of firearm, ammunition and a silencer.
He has been sentenced to 3 years and 6 months and 5 days for possession of a Glock-80 pistol, one year for 10 rounds of ammunition and one year for a suppressor or silencer. The sentences are to run concurrently.
The sentence was handed down in the District B Magistrate’s Court this morning by Senior Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel.
The conviction follows a police raid at Russell’s Lightfoot home around 6:55 Tuesday morning.
Investigators say, during the operation, they shouted “Police!”, and Russell hurled the pistol out of his bedroom window.
The weapon and ammunition were later recovered, along with THE firearm suppressor that was found on a dressing table.
The 40-year-old tattoo artist reportedly told police he was “working on” getting a firearm licence.

Was going to be difficult to escape prison sentence. Hope this would serve as an incentive and a lesson for other illegal gun holders to hand in their weapons before the amnesty is over.
Did you give the Dominican beauty queen any “incentive”?
Did you learn your lesson???
Young girls have no use for old geezers!! Take them to the cleaners than take off
Rinse. Repeat.
Who set that trap?
UPP will scoop him up, sanitize him and place him to run in St. Phillips South.
well….old people say WHO NAH HEAR WILL FEEL. We live and we learn!
Alot of people were of the belief because of his popularity and pull strings he may have in his corner would of gotten him a slap on the wrist…If he had only gotten away or had to pay a fine then Ed Archibald would have to appeal his conviction….Gun Amnesty is still on so Ed and Mongoose are used as examples…Take your illegal firearms to the Police Headquarters and free yourself from the potential of spending time at Hotel 1735
I wonder if the police are running ballistic test on these illigal firearms and ammunition that they are coming across, and cross referencing them to the unsolved murders in the island and sharing the information with neighboring islands. It will only make sense, however, I might be using my coconut too much here.
Set up
As confused as your Thief King. UPP doesn’t know how to sanitize and it’s obvious that they don’t know how to thief either, or the lands at Friars Hill would not have been available for the taking. They certainly wouldn’t know how to thief such a large sum like TEN MILLION.
JOHN ASHE! UPP CORRUPTION, GREED, KICKBACKS etc etc
You fuck around an you find out
I find the sentence very light . Not even a licensed firearm holder is allowed to have a silencer. Having a silencer indicates that he had intentions of committing a crime. The police need to be investigating where these guns are coming from and now silencers? This will take crime to a new level in Antigua.
The sentence was too light .. do you understand what a silencer on a gun is capable of doing with a air compressor attached to it plus 10 rounds.. this is a joke sentence a gift 🎁 … where are the missing people btw .. remember most serial killers were the ones you least expected … but then again I wonder who’s bring the guns into antigua … hmmm yes those guys … and they never expected the guns would end up killing 2 of the own … hmm you really live in the bushes mangoose? Now tell who else live in there with you … hope you get the see Carl and explain to him why you were out there scandalizing his name .. however I do believe it was a set up maybe , just maybe, your kite was flying too high for them …
@ “Papa Bird a cuss r u” I don’t think the Police will give out that kind of information….The Police jus want u to bring the gun at your own risk….If they come for u after u took ur gun in just know ya SALL!
