    So my question is, what about the little girl that have to leave the country because she was threatened knowing what happen. Is it was just false information???

    Great job Shermain. Please keep up the good work and keep highlighting the issues that concern us

    Her body lay there, unsettled, no peace, justice has failed her, the system has failed. Somebody knows something and yet refuse to talk. All kind of rumors sparked weeks after the death but yet nothing came to light

    I hear the pain in her voice, i see the pain in her eyes. all these times has passed and yet no answers. Achazia’s killers walk free while her mother grieves

    Yes it was very hard to watch knowing Asabi from way back when. 😞

  • Robert April 29, 2025, 12:19 AM

    This was hard to watch NF. This is so heartbreaking! How can the police take so long to find out who did this? It’s unacceptable! Asabi deserves answers now, not later!

    Part of me shattered and part of me remains angry. Antigua.news please post these videos in the morning. Posting it in the evening is can give feeble people like me a hard time. So….It’s been months, and no one is held accountable. This is a complete failure on the part of the police. They should be ashamed of themselves.

    Your butt’s gonna be waiting forever, the stupid police department don’t know there ARSE FROM A HOLE IN THE GROUND….

    It’s almost A YEAR!!!!!!A YEAR!!!!!! Since Achazia died I fail to believe that no information was given to law enforcement that could help solve this case…..it’s sad to hear this but law enforcement is failing us slowly and people will only see this when it is happening or happened to them. God is in control and has a plan!!! Those wicked hands that did that deed will wrinkle before time.

    Well said

  • Rhea April 28, 2025, 9:09 PM

    The boys Gaston spoke to are the ones responsible for the robbery of your daughter’s future. Sad sad that that’s the way life had to go

  • Antigua Surf April 28, 2025, 9:08 PM

    Tears and more tears. A suffering mother who only want answers. She’s living in a system that’s only failing her. Asabi, we apologize as a public to you mommy. Her friends and people who were there need to come forward

  • Charles April 28, 2025, 8:35 PM

    Very emotional interview. Great stuff. Thanks again Antigua.news!

  • Sigh April 28, 2025, 8:12 PM

    Hopefully, all involved will be brought to justice! No mother should ever know this pain.

  • Brenda Wallace April 28, 2025, 8:10 PM

    I can’t keep up. I just about cried through this video. The connection between the interviewer and the mother. So emotional. So much connection. It felt like the news person was in touch with the feelings of the lady. So deep. Great work!! 👍
