Thank God, one devil is off the street.

Did she prosecute this one? I suspect not but even if she did, one win a year is not enough.
She did not prosecute it.
We’ve lost Lenia and this won’t bring her back, but this sick b***ard is off the streets for our life time. Thank you, Jesus.

The BVI is also part of the upper Caribbean Islands.
In the local vernacular of mind and speech,upper Caribbean is synonymous with updeislun and/or garrot.
The writer,rather than attempting politeness,kindness or genility would have been more to the point using, updeislun,garrot,StVincent or being more specific ,,”Updeislun Vincy Garrot”or UVG..lol.
Garrot (describes and identifies that particular demograhic penchant and most popular cultural pastime…garroting each other daily.
My neighbor introduced my ears to an oldie but Goldie…1950’s big calypso hit called” Garrot Bounce” by one Lord Nelson. She say that the garrots dem was bouncing in massive number to the Garrot Bounce. They were not offended to hear the dance hall and everywhere referencing them and their pastime of garroting . They would sing along louder and jump more than any body.
How offensive. I would hope that we are beyond this type of prejudice and tribalism of referring to others as “garrot.” Criminality is wrong irrespective of who commits it, so there is absolutely no support for local or foreign criminals. I entirely agree with deportation of foreign perpetrators of serious crimes on completion of prison sentences as there is no basis for such persons to be retained in a foreign country. However, there are undesirables in every society, island and nation – no need to descend to prejudice which is something which we as BVIslanders and people of colour have had to endure from others as well. Let us not perpetuate the same wrongs that have been perpetuated against us. We are bigger than this.
OK..So, why do we have to jail him?
Couldn’t we just deport him, if he’s deportable?
Why spend good tax money on “that”?
I don’t know how many murderers are in Balsum Ghut prison but I won’t be surprised if they are not all from,originated and family direct connected to that area and I remember that calypso..big hit of all times and they were proud to be recognized
for what they
are truly noted. The dead bodies can be counted day by day. That is how they roll. The murder RAtE is higher than the US. Name it claim ,only then can you fix it..

Piece of filth
The DPP office finally got a conviction. What happened? Could his family not pay the top dog off to lose the case because for the head of that dept to still have a job and being losing so many cases there has to serious money passing hands somewhere.
