What the hell is going on in this country ???
When will these shooting and killing end Oh lord put a hand
You recorded the pig who threatened to kill you just because you insisted that he leave you alone. You didn’t want to be with him anymore. He stated, I will kill you and spend seven years in prison and that would be good enough because you, my dear, said to pig that you are moving on with your life.
Whomever is the judge or magistrate, you will hear the evidence of premeditated homicide and that you will ensure that this PIG NEVER see the light of freedom ever again.
Rest in peace Joy.
I feel sorry to see how a young girl can go .
But I still have to blame the the magistrates to forever adjourn gun cases. Now they can see the end results.
Something has to be done in St. Lucia asap regarding crime and gun violence – things are getting from bad to worst. Everyone’s life is at risk as bullets have no eyes and there is something called – crossfire. I am not sure if the government understands the magnitude and the impact of the horror happening on island.
This is so sad. A young life cut short! I pray that her daughter gets loving care and that this tragedy does not affect her future. I pray for her parents and extended family that they have the strength and courage to endure this very difficult time
Heavenly father please deliver us from the evil forces rampage on this little island
The magistrates and judges bear as much responsibility as the murderer!
Verbatim according to article ….”he was granted bail by the High Court”. – the question which I am asking myself is “Why was he granted bail” after violation a protective order? …..
As a St. Lucian living abroad this truly saddens me to my core —— honestly I will ask my church family to pray earnestly for this young woman’s family. My God may she RIP. Amen
