Decision to allow Jamaican ex-convict time to get affairs in order revoked

You can now listen to Antigua News articles!

Jeffrey “Nash” Campbell, a Jamaican national and former murder convict, was deported to his homeland on Sunday following a sudden reversal of a court decision that had temporarily allowed him to remain in Antigua.

Immigration officials confirmed that Campbell boarded a Caribbean Airlines flight on April 27, just three days after the court revoked his bail that had been granted by Acting Chief Magistrate Dexter Wason on April 22.

Campbell, who had resided in Antigua since 2005, was originally granted a brief reprieve to settle personal affairs before deportation. Under that arrangement, he had been released on $10,000 bail with an Antiguan citizen as surety and was required to report to Immigration twice weekly while surrendering his travel documents.

The former Kentish Road resident had accumulated belongings during his nearly two-decade stay in Antigua and reportedly has children who were born on the island but no longer live there. He had initially been permitted to remain in the country until May 18 under Immigration Department supervision.

Campbell had served time for the 2013 murder of Sylvester “Copper” Carbon, who was fatally shot on April 10 of that year while walking along Bridge Road after leaving a shop in Grays Farm.

    People must understand that when they go to another country there are rules and they must be complied with.
