Why Haven’t Their Killers Been Found?

Published

As the year draws to a close, the families of Achazia James and Yenifer Bridge anxiously await updates from the police regarding the pursuit of justice for the horrific loss of their loved ones.

Achazia, just 15 years old, suffered a tragic fate, found on Runway Beach in August with severe injuries, including a severed hand and multiple slashes on her face.

Similarly, Yenifer’s life was violently taken at the tender age of 16, after she was abducted, assaulted, and strangled, leaving her family heartbroken.

These young girls were taken from us far too early, their futures and dreams cruelly snatched away.

The investigation into their deaths is ongoing, with Police Commissioner Atlee Rodney acknowledging the vital role the community has played in solving significant cases.

We can only hope that the senseless violence that claimed these young lives will inspire a renewed sense of community and action in 2025.

    We draw near to end of 2024, even nearer by the days. yet still these two beautiful ladies are in a grave somewhere with no justice. no one may have come forward and speak for Yenifer but I feel like the public were speaking loud enough for James. and to my knowledge Mr. Browne, y’all PRIME MINISTER, would’ve had a talk with Ms. James POSSIBLE KILLERS. why is it that they weren’t questioned on her death, after all they all were friends. after all a young lady was flown back to her country for speaking up and being attacked. or maybe they are the ones helping the police with getting rid of people. and who am i to forget that these girls aren’t as important as Asot. so who cares anyway?? I’m just still hoping that justice come to light, and every body behind this will meet their time in God. over and out

      Asots case was one easier to solve why compare it? A stolen vehicle from dry hill was found at the alleged offenders home big lead into the investigation. Asots case was just a simple one. Come on now. Why dont you become an investigator and solve it??According to you seem to have plenth knowledge. Use it then.
