Antiguan Woman Found Guilty in Death of Child Nearly 50 Years After Incident
An Antiguan woman has been found guilty in the death of a five-year-old girl nearly five decades after the incident occurred in the United Kingdom.
Janice Nix, 67, was convicted of manslaughter after jurors concluded that she caused the death of Andrea Bernard by forcing the child into a scalding hot bath as punishment at a home in Thornton Heath, London, in 1978.
According to reports from the trial, the five-year-old suffered severe burns during the incident and later died from her injuries.
The case remained unresolved for decades before being reopened by UK investigators. Prosecutors argued that Nix, who was Andrea’s stepmother, deliberately subjected the child to the hot bath as a form of punishment.
Jurors returned a guilty verdict following the trial in London.
The conviction comes after Nix was arrested last year upon arriving on a flight returning from Antigua.

I believe she migrated to England at a very young age and maybe her parents or father is not originally from Antigua or she got married because her last name is not local for sure…..Yeah well she did some demonic evil work and murdered an innocent defenceless child 48 years ago…That child was born in 1972 or 73 meaning she would of been about 53 or 54 today..Robbed that little girl of her future while she lived 48 years probably got married had children and grandchildren…God nar sleep..
Remember, what’s hidden in the DARK, will be eventually revealed in the LIGHT…
Well done to the brother of the deceased for coming forward. Justice serverd.
Lord have mercy Christ have mercy 🥺 🙏 that’s all I will say for now.
