As of November 7, 70homicides for 2024. Projected homicides in 2024: 82 at current trajectory. Projected homicide rate: 45.73 per 100,000 people. In 1994 the Homicide rate was 6.64 per 100,000 people. That’s a 6.88 times increase in 30 years. What a sad statistic.
Very sad with the crime rate here in Saint Lucia. We beat Barbados , Martinique Antigua by far in the homicide count. infact Antigua is less than 20 homicides for the year, It seems our people here have an evil spirit and killing someone is the answer to it. I am pretty sure its more than 70 homicides, those died in hospital and not given count or those bodies they found decomposed,
DocDell I’m sure you are correct. Many shot/wounded die weeks and months after and are not included in the official count. Not to mention all those permanently maimed/crippled. It is a terrible situation.
Self-defense that’s the only thing you brothers have to tell your lawyer and you have people that will vouch for that in the area or in his past
