COP dispels rumour of two murders recorded for ‘2010’

Commissioner BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – The Commissioner of Police (COP) Austin Williams has sought to lay to rest rumours which suggest that the Federation has recorded two murders since the commencement of the year.

An article published on www.caribbeanworldnews.com today (Jan. 6) reports, “It’s only the sixth day of the year but the crime rate on the tiny island of St. Kitts/Nevis is already at two.”

The article, headlined “St. Kitts Murder Rate Already At Two for 2010”, names the two victims as Keithron Stanley, 26, and Bevon Richards of Cotton Ground. It states that Stanley’s murder took place on January 1 with Richards’ taking place 15 hours after.

SKNVibes made a number of attempts to contact the Police Press and Public Relations Officer, Inspector Vaughan Henderson, to inquire about whether or not this information holds truth but they were all unsuccessful.

Commissioner Williams, speaking exclusively with SKNVibes, indicated that as far as he is aware, the Federation has had only one murder for the year which he explained is that of Stanley.

Information acquired by this media house indicates that about six hours into the start of this year, Stanley “was killed execution-style within a building in Craddock Road, Charlestown, Nevis.”
