Castries South MP Dr. Ernest Hilaire has expressed sorrow over the fatal shooting of teenager Miguela Joseph in Faux A Chaud, Castries, on Saturday.
Hilaire told reporters on the sidelines of a Cabinet meeting on Monday that he had spoken to the family, expressing his condolences and sympathy.
He said he knows the family very well.
“It is a sad day,” the Acting Prime Minister declared while disclosing that the deceased teenager was to have danced at an event he had on Sunday in Bananes.
Hilaire emphasised that he did not know all the details regarding the fatal Faux A Chaud shooting and would not speculate about what happened.
” I have heard a version of what happened but I do not think it would be appropriate for me to comment on it,” he told reporters.
However, the Castries South MP said he thinks the incident highlights the situation in Saint Lucia regarding firearms.
He recalled that recently parliament amended the law on unlicensed firearms and associated items.
“We are taking a tough stand on it,” Hilaire asserted.
In this regard, he noted that the police have been doing a lot to clamp down.
“You would have seen repeatedly in the news the successes of the police in apprehending persons with illegal firearms. So we are going to continue to spread the message that the law will be enforced as firmly as possible and to say to Saint Lucians really we have to find different ways of dealing with our issues and not resorting to instruments of violence,” he said.
St Lucia must turn from evil and turn to their KING JESUS/YASHUA. PRAY FOR HIS POWERFUL SPIRIT TO FALL ON ST LUCIAN SO ALL THE KILLINGS AND MURDERS TO STOP. BLACK PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE? YOU ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH. THE HEBREW ISRAELITES THE PEOPLE WHOM THE BIBLE IS TALKING ABOUT. REPENT AND TURN TO THE LORD OF HOST. THE POWERFUL GOD WHO WILL TAKE VENGEANCE ON THE WICKED. DON’T YOU THINK IT WILL NOT HAPPEN IT WILL HAPPEN TO THE WICKED PEOPLE OF THE EARTH. ITS HAPPENED BEFORE IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. HE WILL BRING DISASTERS UPON YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN. STOP YOUR WICKEDNESS. ITS A WARNING MESSAGE. FROM THE MESSENGER OF THE MOST HIGH GOD ALMIGHTY AND MOST POWERFUL POWERFUL CREATOR. REPENT REPENT REPENT AND TURN TO HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEARTS BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.
This is No Accidental Shooting .Why was there an illegal Firearm at the House and it was not Reported to the Police .That’s what Happens when People Coverup illegal activities
…..did a barrel come down, that where I would start.
GODLESSNESS = LAWLESSNESS
You either stay in the pit of hell or rather, turn to the Almighty. The dancing to demon gods will continue to drag you to hell. There is another world out there, a Spiritual world of Holiness, a completely different one from Alcohol, Drugs, Feting and dancing; but your Deputy P.M. sees things differently. Carnival and its vulgar half nakedness and music is that of the demon gods, so open your spiritual eyes to see where St. Lucia is going. May the Lord bless St. Lucia.
…so we have more disaster to come than what plaquing the earth already ??? Missay do tell Praytell . Covid, volcano, hurricane, world war, Cancer, Asteroid we have worst coming than this ???
@Hilaire, I believe if these young people had access to Netflix that would never happen. What do you think?
this is really sad why would be playing with a gun is a gun a toy? who plays with guns? smdh and who ever is the owner of that gun should be arrested as well. and to think these were the kind of people government was thinking of relocating and putting amongst civilized people . these people would have brought all their bad manners to those places
Sad indeed,only if they had Netflix this could’ve been prevented. 😭
