Murder Accused Dies at MSJMC

Deon ‘Ticks’ ThomasAntigua St. John's - Deon ‘Ticks’ Thomas, one of the three men accused of the murder of service station attendant Dorothy Prince, has died at the Mount St. John’s Medical Center.

Thomas died at around 1:30pm on Thursday after being transported to MSJMC with breathing complications on Wednesday, police spokesman Sr. Sgt. William Holder confirmed.

The cause of death is yet to be determined.



Thomas along with Police Constable Gideon Jackson were accused of the first murder for 2012, resulting from an armed robbery at Dee’s Service Station on February 17.

Prince was fatally shot during the incident, and the robbers made off with some $5,000.

All of us have sin but--

All of us have sin but most of did not take a person life against their will. Taking a person life is worst than fornicating( at least the other person gave you their consent).

No Compassion

#36 Mother » 2012-07-15 19:56

Sorry to say but I don't feel no compassion for the deceased or the others in custody in any way, shape or form. I hope he rots quickly and goes to hell! He took the life of an innocent woman. He left her two young children motherless. I'm a mother myself and I feel so sorry for those two children who have been left to cope with the sudden death of their mom.

As a god fearing people we should be careful what we wish for others. Surely it was a senseless murder of Ms. Prince, and as a father of three I too wanted to see them killers dead. But as far as obeah we in this society have to be careful what doors we open, as we may unleash forces that will consume not only the persons involved but us as a society as well..

If u living in a glass house don't throw stones......... ..he was not right with what he did, whether he was the one that pulled the trigger or not,but yet still he is not worst than anyone else ,everyone in life chooses their own path if that was his, who can we blame? God has no pajamas so in that way he neither slumber nor sleep so he knows exactly what went down with that incident....... .some ppl are always quick 2 judge but on the other hand they don't want 2 be judged,instead of taking this on the negative side why not leave it unto the most high JESUS CHRIST ........ And remember before u point your finger make sure your hands are clean!!!!!!!!!! !

Notes From A Native Son Of The Rock. An Accused Died. A Man Died. A "Ticks" Died Safely In this SIDS Care at Her Majesty's 1735.
Quote:
Wisdom, show me the right Guide me safely through the night
Wisdom, show me the light Take my hand & lead me through the fight.
Many have been guided for justice by Judeo & North Atlantic Christianity. Some have looked to the Copts & Nyabinghi. Others have called to the Ancestors and the justice of Damballa.
Quote:
Aristotle makes a distinction between natural justice & legal justice. Natural justice is the same in all times and places. ... comprised by the laws that order the universe and beings toward their ends. ... Governments vary and no perfect regime exists; thus there seem to be different definitions of justice implied by the laws of each regime. Legal justice is that which is just according to law; it ought to be in accordance with natural justice.

The deceased was in the State's Care & Control. The police must treat the death as they would any other until the Post Mortem. The Prison Operations & Procedures Must be reviewed.Heaven Help The Nation Of Antigua & Barbuda including Redonda.

Murder Accused Dies

#27 Daughter of Klaas » 2012-07-14 11:42

Yet another wasted life! How sad. I hope that his fate - his sudden illness and death and his tragi-comedic final journey to Straffies - was not the work of over-zealous vigilantes. Wait on the Coroner's report? I would rather wait upon the Lord who in the final analysis will judge and reward/condemn ALL creation.

#25 kindom child » 2012-07-13 19:35

The word of God says, all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, yes they have commit murder but if they were your brother, uncle, cousin, would you have pass the same verdict or judgement,who are we to pass judgement. Vengence is mine said the Lord I Will repay, let's leave it in the hands of the Lord if you are without sin then you can cast the stones.

#21 young analyst » 2012-07-13 13:59

yes he was charged for a hidious crime and yes punishment is due, however all have sinned and he who havent let him cast the first stone. Remember its your soul that counts and eternal life, the thing is if he asked God for forgiveness its straight to heaven he will be going. Hope all who throwing stone dont live in a glass house.

#19 Rest Assured » 2012-07-13 10:31

You are correct that "God is not an excuse or an easy way out"
God forgives (If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us). That being said, forgiveness does not mean a person will not reap the consequences of their actions.

"God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad. Eccl 12:14"

God is the fairest judge that I know. He sees all and knows all - even the heart of hypocrites. So be encouraged that nothing is hidden from Him.

Don't even waist my tax money for a coroners report. Let his family give him a burrial if they so wish. And yes may the Lord have merci on his soul. At least he had a change to get it right with God, but the young lady perhaps did not. To the others please do something like h - - g..yourself or d - - - n..yourself. Something quick and clean that will safe us lenghtly court cases and having to feed you.

religous hypocrisy

#13 a real human » 2012-07-13 09:56

Why must god have mercy on his soul? And if he did say to god during a moment of selfishness "I am sorry god", does that forgive his sins? He then gets to go to heaven? What a crock. Just like our politicians... I guess it is ok to steal from the country as long as you go to church on Sunday and pray to God. God is not an excuse or an easy way out. I am sick of the hypocrisy. Most people here make their money then turn christian.... anyone noticed this?? Get a real grip please God farers.

witness tampering or Jah's justice??????

#2 Jumbee Picknee » 2012-07-13 06:40

Yes, we can speculate and say, "he has it coming, he deserve to die, it's Jah's punishment, obeah a wuk, etc"; but in a case like this where each others testimony is vital, his death will have serious implications on the trial of the others. So, is it witness tampering, Jah's Justice, the bones of Obeah or the long arm of that clandestine Order? Poo-poo deadly!
