Published
This is not an actual copy of the death threat

A mother, deeply concerned for her daughter’s safety, has swiftly removed her from Antigua and Barbuda to ensure her safety.

The authorities have recently questioned the young girl in connection with the tragic passing of Achazia James.

Last week Sunday, young James’s body was found with multiple chop wounds on Runaway Beach.

Reportedly, following her interview with the police, the teenager has been subjected to terrifying death threats from members of a notorious gang suspected to be connected to James’s untimely demise.

To safeguard her life, her family has made the difficult decision to relocate her overseas.

Additionally, the authorities have been notified about the menacing death threats encircling the young girl.

    This is why perpetrators of this type of satanic behavior must be rounded up and dealt with to the fullest extent of the law!

    The mother has to be careful now because they might come after her, too. They will believe her daughter may have confided in her what happened to Achazia James. I hope the police have this mother and her home under protection.

      A child is no longer free to live in their country? What kind of nonsense is that? So that child could not have been placed under protective custody? It seems as though not even police can help us these days. What will happen to the child’s life? Her friends she would have made. Her comfort of her home. What a culture shock it will be for her to just jump from one place to another. Wow.
