Reports reaching Caribarena suggests that the elderly woman, who is now in police custody assisting with investigations, allegedly doused her 42-year-old daughter with a flammable liquid and set her on fire.

This incident took place on Friday around 4:30 pm and the circumstances surrounding it are still sketchy.

The victim is said to have sustained second-degree burns and is a patient at the Mount St. John’s Medical Center (MSJMC).

Police spokesman Cpl. Frankie Thomas said investigations into the matter are ongoing.


Further, police have reportedly arrested Haron "Hammerpump" George in connection with a series of shooting incidents in the Point area.



George’s detention comes on the heels of a wanted bulletin issued by the Royal Police Force of Antigua & Barbuda for Robert Spencer Jr. aka “Robbie” of Friar’s Hill Road/Hodges Bay for his involvement a spate of shootings in the Villa and Point communities, and other drug-related offences.

“The police are looking at more than one person in connection with those shootings,” Cpl. Thomas said.

I can recall, in the late 1980's and early 1990's, when 'red-shut' was been established in the Point/Villa community, 'green- house' in the gray's/green, "white shut" in ovals/ottos, and others around the country, several politicians evern had their names on tee-shirts sponsoring these "gangs". Many of us were laughed at because we were aware, that a seed was been planted within our communities which would eventually cause the kind of negative issues that we are now faced with and is paying a heavy price for. EVERYONE is INNOCENT until proven guilty, however, our politicians, law enforcement, the churches, our community leaders are all guilty of allowing this, "a joke dem a mek", mentallity to have now taken root and have produced fruits in our community's. We have at least 2 generations that have been born and bred within this culture and is waiting in the wings...Obstee say, "WET U HAND SN WAIT FU ME...Short Shirt say, "MURDA, LOOKA TROUBLE YA TONIGHT...

Murderers should be hung. People like this woman should be lost in jail. Sexual abusers of children should be castrated. They should get what they give. The criminals in Antigua are having a field day.
