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.

  5. I pray and hope that this acting police commissioner is not another yes-man to Cutie Benjamin and Gaston Browne. We don’t want any long-drawn-out case with this one. In the wild-wild-west, 🌎 murders are taken to the nearest trees and hung in a day or two.
