Murder Victim Identified

Murder Victim IdentifiedThe police have released the name of the second murder victim for 2011. Dave Hunt, 26, of Freeman's Village died early Monday after being shot during an argument at a nightclub in Donovan's.

The incident happened at about 2:30 am, police reports said. An 18 year old from Cooks Extension was also shot, and is in stable condition at the hospital. His name was not publicized.

The shooting has prompted public calls for tighter gun control, and efforts to curb violence involving young people.



In other police news, a business on Fort Road was broken into sometime between 3 pm on January 8 and 11:45 am the next day.


The thieves stole two Jepson tile cutters valued at $1,100, a Dewalt power saw valued at $7,000, and a Flotec water heater.

My way of helping, now am hearing you. those are very effective ways to battle crime, a combination of community, police. army , parents as well as churches and political leaders are needed to win this battle. But the powers that be spend more time pulling down each other than trying to rebuile our nation

I must say i agree. My plan is available and will drastically decrease crimes. My plan includes: finding and stopping where these guns are coming from, easy accessibility to the police and the police to the people, friendly policing when needed (community policing), proactive policing, officer walking the beat, officers riding bicycles, plain clothes police armed with badges walking the beats, cooperation of police with private security officers and army, Prayer group, etcetera.

Offi cers will be so available and present that criminals will think 10 times before deciding to commit crimes and at that time the opportunity will be gone. Not even the commissioner will always be in the officer, he would be in the community meeting, greeting and observing to further target any problems.

I have a plan, and i know my BLESSED PLAN by God will decrease crimes and increase LOVE back in the lives of the people of the United Islands of Antigua and Barbuda.

What ever happened to

A good old roll and tumble on the floor with fists flying until someone come and part the fight? These days its like the wild wild west, for the most ridiculous of reasons we draw a gun in a crowd of people and shoot at will. Let us pray for our Country, Lord hear our cry!
