Police Commissioner Atlee Rodney provided an update from the scene, confirming the launch of a homicide investigation in response to injuries found on Michael’s body.

“This is one of those sad moments we must address as investigators,” Commissioner Rodney said, describing the early hours of the investigation. “We received a call just after 8 a.m. from a member of Michael’s household who found him unresponsive.

Commissioner Rodney assured the public of an extensive investigation, leveraging local, regional, and international resources. “We will be engaging our partners both regionally and internationally to utilize all available support in this investigation,” he said, highlighting that the Antigua and Barbuda Police Force will mobilize the necessary resources to address the case comprehensively.

The police chief urged the public to respect the privacy of Michael’s family, who are reeling from the loss of a beloved family member and public figure. “We call on the public to be mindful of the sensitivity of this matter,” Rodney stated, underscoring the impact of speculative or inaccurate information on the family and the investigation.

Call for Public Cooperation

Recognizing the significance of this crime for the nation, Commissioner Rodney issued a direct appeal to the public, asking for any information, no matter how minor it may seem. “This is a national event in the sense that everyone has a role to play. If you were in the area last night, saw anything unusual, or have any relevant information, please come forward,” Rodney urged.

Investigators are particularly interested in accounts from anyone who may have noticed activity near Michael’s home on the night preceding his death. Officers are canvassing the area, interviewing neighbors, and examining the residence for signs of forced entry or other critical clues. At this time, police have not confirmed any findings from within the house.

Family and Witness Support

In addition to Michael’s family, who have been informed and are being supported by authorities, police have interviewed the household member who discovered the body. Commissioner Rodney acknowledged her distress following the tragic discovery, noting that she will receive counseling and support as necessary.

“Given the trauma of the incident, we are mindful of her condition and will ensure she and other affected family members receive all the support they need,” he added.

Moving Forward

With the investigation still in its early stages, Commissioner Rodney promised regular updates as investigators gather evidence and examine initial findings. “We will meet this afternoon to review what we’ve gathered, assess our immediate needs, and determine the best course of action,” he confirmed.

The community is encouraged to remain vigilant and cooperative, with the understanding that solving this crime may require collaboration from all corners of society. The police are committed to conducting a thorough investigation to bring justice for Michael and his family.

This development marks a tragic loss for Antigua and Barbuda, as Asot Michael, known for his years of service and dedication, leaves behind a legacy that extends beyond politics to touch countless lives across the nation.

  29. Hi it is sad to see the pictures going around in social media of both Assot body laying dead on the ground in his home and a young man whose picture is circulating as the murderer. Can you imagine that someone forwarding this young man pictures to his mother or father, grandmother, close family member.
    We need to be more responsible.
