In a response to the ongoing protests concerning the tragic murder of 9-year-old Chantel Crump, Acting Police Commissioner Everton Jeffers emphasized the importance of allowing the legal system to proceed without interference.
Speaking outside the Police Headquarters, Jeffers acknowledged the deep anguish felt by the protesters, many of whom were family members of the young victim.
The protests erupted as community members rallied for stronger measures against those responsible for Chantel’s death, with many calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty for the accused.
The Commissioner’s remarks aimed to reassure the public that the police are committed to handling the case thoroughly and justly, while acknowledging concerns over the pace of the investigation.
Chantel’s murder has captivated the nation, igniting discussions about child safety and the legal repercussions of violent crime.
Let’s see action and no talk. Let’s get it done
Let’s all hope that they handle this well and don’t waste time
We’re not hoping on this one We’re demanding!
When the people want something, we must give it to them, and we want the death penalty for criminals.
