St. George’s, Grenada, May 7th ,2010: Leader of the Opposition, Dr. The Rt. Hon. Keith Mitchell is making a special appeal to every Grenadian to offer special prayers for the families of the victims and the alleged perpetrator of last Mondays brutal murder which took place in St. Andrew. Dr. Mitchell is also calling on Grenadians to pray for a complete reverse in what appears to be an increase in the levels of violence, house breaking, stealing and other criminal activities in the country.
Dr. Mitchell says it is extremely necessary for everyone to do everything in their power to reverse this situation and calls on all Grenadians at home and abroad, every organization and institution particularly the church, to increase efforts to arrest this situation.
The Opposition leader says he is extremely concerned about incidents which have been occurring over the last two months particularly the stabbing of a woman at a church service; the killing of two young men; and most recently a double murder in St. Andrew, among others. This he said highlights the need for urgent spiritual intervention.
Dr. Mitchell says his heart goes out to all those who are hurting at this time following those unfortunate incidents particularly last Monday’s. . The Former Prime Minister says that he will continue to pray that God will provide strength, protection and direction to those affected, as they try to cope with such unpleasant and challenging moments in their lives.
The Opposition further calls on the leadership of the Royal Grenada Police Force to take a more proactive approach to solving crime and to put all its efforts and resources into this cause rather than using police officers for political objectives while victimizing others who are perceived to be supporters of the New National Party
