St Kitts murder crime rate is in the category of Jamaica and also Trinidad.
No good for tourism.
A handful just a handful here and one turns out to be a prolific murderer for hire. Scores.
Murders he committed on his whim not included.
Black man Black mother...Daddy????
The Spirits off our BVI ancestors are suffering and are not at all pleased.
He spent most of his life here. Why do you think he is a criminal due to his St Kitts roots? After all don't we all have African roots? Are we all potential criminals on that basis.
Maybe this lack of acceptance and treatment as outsider is hat led to him being nurtured as a murderer.
A phonomena unique to the upper Caribbean Island chain, It has been that way for a long long time. Delve into the history records and past of the people of these Islands. Only recntly have they been accepted into other countries and because if their violent and witchcraf culture. Have a chat with them...the real them. The UK library is a treasure trove of hush hush past histories of t h e Caribbean. Hangings a usual and hang men for use / hire by the UK in the Caribbean islands,including the last one in the BVI would be imported from those updeuslun places where the people killed without flinching.,,,Antigua StKitts tops.
My question is was there behaviour caused by their nature from having a relative from another island or by growing up and being educated here? Compounded by the obvious unacceptance due to having a "non local last name".
