    Is it possible to carry out FURTHER TESTS???? Then PRESS ON …. Do These TESTS BEFORE MAKING SUCH A STATEMENT: “Inconclusive” ……. DO THE WORK FIRST…… THEN Make the Statement for The Report …… The REPORT Could have said Instead: More Tests NEEDED and Are Being Requested ….. If Possible give a Timeline for The Feedback from the Lab which will be carrying out Further Tests…. Thank You

    I just read the police flimsy report. COVERUP! TIME WILL TELL

    Justice for chantel crump. The cause of death God knows. And God will judge. The police came with a flimsy excuse that they will continue the investigation but want the woman to bury her child without knowing what killed her. Ok then

    My spirit says get like Guyana and burn this mother down but my better sense says wait and see if justice is going to prevail. I AM SO ANGRY AND HURT THAT A NINE YEAR OLD CHILD LOST HER LIFE. SHE HAD HER WHOLE LIFE INFRONT OF HER AND IT WAS SNUFFED OUT! J7ST LIKE THAT! I WANT JUSTICE FOR CHANTEL!! NOTHING ELSE IS GOING TO EASE THIS HURT OR EXTINGUISH THIS ANGER!! EVERYONE INVOLVED MUST BE DEALT WITH!!!

    You speak like this until it’d one of your very own. Until you feel the pain of the families.

  • Unapologetic April 26, 2025, 4:16 AM

    Rawle you are the most irresponsible person in this wicked world. How can you suggest for even one mintue that people should go rogue? What happened in Guyana should never happen in Antigua. I don’t like your tone..I have heard the criminal story about the father but never found facts. Let’s provide it if you have it

  • Rawle April 25, 2025, 7:05 PM

    Wait, we under here acting like the father is not a murder, an ex con. Y’all don’t ever think karma is real until it’s right in you face and you have to feel the pain. I mean, while Chantel wasn’t suppose to pay for the sins of her father. That’s how karma works. it comes for the thing or person that will hurt you most. Like come on, we can cut the act now. Now on to the next. When they found the decomposed body, wasn’t it post mortem or autopsy gave them the cause of death, isn’t that how they found out the body was stabbed to death? oh okay, let’s not act stupid guys! as Antigua Surf said, let’s get some guyanese in our blood and tear this city up. WE DEMAND JUSTICE FOR CHANTEL. and everyone workinh against this should be held accountable for the death of chantel. Just to finish, When will they tell us that the decomposed found in swetes was Orden ‘Passo’ David?

  • Devorn Carter April 25, 2025, 6:57 PM

    What’s going to be next? she’s freed and deported after sighting lack of evidence? hmm. Antigua never fail to amaze me. It doesn’t matter the case, the parents should see a result of the Autopsy. Let’s not keep the real cause of death away from the family. I suspect she was infact rape by this man. wasn’t her first confession that she wanted to feel the thrill of a 9-Year-Old in bed with she and her man. I don’t even think Sergeant Malone commited suicide. I firmly will forever believe that the officer working on the case is working with them. They confessed to Malone, and they had her killed.

  • Rhea April 25, 2025, 6:53 PM

    Any other country, she would’ve been dead or the justice would’ve already been served. The system stay failing Chantel and the entirety of the crump family. This is madness. Craziness.

  • Antigua Surf April 25, 2025, 6:49 PM

    So im now here to find out some shit bout “Inconclusive”? I say let’s get like Guyana and burn that damn prison and the suspects home. This is getting to me now, the is probably going through to much that they can handle and this is the payment they recieve? Antigua justice system is trash. better we start doing more actions than talking at this point. “inconclusive”, how much lies are we going to tell to protect the life of a murderer?

  • Stephney April 25, 2025, 6:37 PM

    Bring in the real culprit. She’s sitting in prison lying about what happened, knowing full well she didn’t kill that child. She’s protecting the wicked man who did it. That’s evil, and she knows it.

  • Antiguan to me bone April 25, 2025, 2:10 PM

    Them swear in a new police commissioner so what you all expect read between the lines

  • Food4thought April 25, 2025, 1:23 PM

    I know that the 1st of April has passed.
    It cannot be that they bring back. like really ! So u all are trying to say that this woman/ thing could walk while little Chantel is dead. 🤔 ok iI hve served on a jury panel before… so to my knowledge she will still be found guilty cause if she had not taken the child she would still be alive… her actions cause the death of Chantel so let’s see what’s going to happe. Chantel should get justice for her untimely death. Antigua wake up this could hve been any of us child.. That’s y I love the ppl of Guyana justice

  • Luka Johnson April 25, 2025, 11:57 AM

    This is absolutely ridiculous! How can they leave the family in the dark like this? A nine-year-old girl lost her life, and all they have to offer are inconclusive results? Only in ANU! Her parents deserve answers, not just vague statements! This injustice is unacceptable! How can anyone expect them to find peace without knowing what happened to their child?

  • Unruly One April 25, 2025, 10:18 AM

    I believe you Sherry, this getting very sketchy

  • Donna April 25, 2025, 9:58 AM

    God will reveal all the evil cover-up in darkness into his marvellous light. Keep praying and keep believing, God will expose them when we lease expected. God’s Word never lie nor return void according to Isaiah 55:11. “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the things where to I sent it.”

  • Naomi April 25, 2025, 7:51 AM

    Waking up hoping that this wouldn’t be truthful. I read rhe story lastnight and told myself today I would see it was a mistake. Sometimes we will never get Justice in the land of living people.

    It’s spiritual so a normal eye wouldn’t see it

    God sees and knows. In time to come answers will be revealed. Take courage

  • Not a human April 25, 2025, 5:41 AM

    I already knew this would happen. EVIL ANTIGUA……

  • Teacher for Life April 25, 2025, 3:10 AM

    This is complete NONSENSE!!! WHO ARE YOU COVERING UP FOR MR.PATHOLOGIST AND LAW ENFORCEMENT? THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO COVER IT UP!!!!

  • Faithful National #1 April 24, 2025, 11:17 PM

    JUSTICE FOR CHANTEL CRUMP NOW! NO BURIAL BEFORE A SECOND AUTOPSY IS DONE !!!
    TODAY THEY BURIED THE FEMALE FORENSIC SPECIALIST IN THE ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA POLICE FORCE…..AND GOT AWAY WITH WHAT MANY CONSIDER TO BE MURDER.
    TODAY ALSO WE ARE HEARING THAT THE AUTOPSY HAS LABELLED CHANTEL’S CAUSE OF DEATH AS “UNDETERMINED “”?????. HELL NO!!!
    ENOUGH OF THIS SEEMING COVER-UP. JUSTI CE FOR CHANTEL CRUMP NOW!!!

  • SAD April 24, 2025, 9:23 PM

    Never mind that. She is a child of people of lower class of society. I wonder if her parents were the opulent people of this land what would happen..heads would roll according to an outspoken lawyer. Chantel RIP. Justice is for the most high. Sleep on baby girl

  • Citizen April 24, 2025, 9:03 PM

    And the bs to cover up had begun unless we not doing things like Guyana we won’t get the answer

  • Donna April 24, 2025, 8:56 PM

    Antigua is a laughingstock of the Caribbean. An educated pathologist didn’t see it fit to consult with his other medical counterpart in Antigua or the other Caribbean islands. I thought pathologists worked together where such a case arose.

  • Julia April 24, 2025, 8:50 PM

    If not intoxicated, then was paid to give the parents that false autopsy results. I hope he wasn’t the same pathologist who did the autopsy on the decomposed body the other day. If he could find the cause of death of a decomposed body, then one should have found for young Chantel.

  • The listening post April 24, 2025, 8:37 PM

    So what will the death certificate say…

  • Sherry April 24, 2025, 8:10 PM

    Parents, a second opinion is always the next step.
    If the funds are available send for another Doctor for a second opinion.

  • Sherry April 24, 2025, 8:04 PM

    Don’t be fool people, it has big guns on board in all the death that disappear. This Spanish young woman is working for bigger heads. May God have mercy on Antigua/ Barbuda. Evil (rituals) taken full control.

  • What? April 24, 2025, 7:38 PM

    WTH ! Are you serious? The pathologist was intoxicated? Antigua news come on! Is it April fools?

  • Stone April 24, 2025, 7:34 PM

    Mercy, mercy so what now? Yes she is dead but how are you going to prove murder beyond a reasonable doubt how did she die what caused her death??? Mercy mercy a now problem start

  • Biggs April 24, 2025, 7:29 PM

    This is getting more crazy than it is already
