The family of Keon Richards is grappling with conflicting information regarding his fate. Despite law enforcement’s confirmation of a deceased individual being identified as the 37-year-old, his father, Shawn Richards, firmly asserts that his son is still alive.
Richards spoke to our Managing Director Shermain Bique-Charles.
Shawn Richards father of Keon Richards is challenging the claim that he is deceased
I don’t understand why they would not want to show documents .. even if it’s not K it’s not like they’re gonna figure out what happened anyways, when last they solve a crime if ever?
The fish tots from the head, the police force is ineffective and their slow rolling of this and countless other cases have given the criminals confidence to rob rape and pillage our families.

True, police dont even take reports seriously, no matter how serious the situation is police telling people to get a lawyer
Yes some cases are civil matter and not for the police ….know the difference
Even if you don’t give them the physical documents! Call them in and discuss the findings! Show them photos maybe they could have recognized the clothes or jewelry the deceased was wearing! How does a family just accept without proper proof?
This discrepancy between the police and the father of a missing man is deeply worrying. It directly impacts public trust. For the community’s sake, and the family’s peace, the police need to be fully transparent and thorough in their investigations, leaving no room for doubt or unaddressed claims.
I think the Pilice should give the parents what they are asking for . It’s only by that way it may bring closure to the family.
If the father KNOWS that his son is alive, produce him!
So you’re telling me that the parents never had a chance to confirm the findings? Well well, this is truly Antigua. Restricting the parents from seeing a picture of their son or even the forensic results is wrong. I feel as if they didn’t get anything and due to the constant pressure they just attached the body to anyone but it’s true owner. I still as well believe the body is Orden’s well so I heard from the high levels.
A father’s instinct is usually right. Especially if they were close. So hear me out. Plus the man had no choice but to believe, cause yall refuse to show proof
We should never rule out anything or anyone. Id this man has cause to believe his son is alive then he should be given the benefit od the doubt. My thing is why we’re they being denied proof that it was his remains? That’s kinda wiered to me. The police claimed that the matter is still being investigated hence the reason. But if someone is dead then they are dead. The living has nothing to do with providing information to the parents. They just want to know and have proof that the forensic is correct. And I understand that
A father’s grief is powerful, yes, but in this case, it feels like there’s more at play than just emotion. If the police confirmed Keon’s death, why hasn’t the family been shown clear proof? No photos, no personal items, no chance to visually identify the body nothing. That doesn’t sit right.
A parent’s instinct is strong, especially when there’s a close bond. Maybe he’s holding on to hope… or maybe he knows something. Either way, the police owe this family more than vague confirmations. They deserve transparency, dignity, and proper closure, not just assumptions.
We’ve seen too many cases where mistakes are made, rushed conclusions are drawn, and families are left shattered without answers. This should not be another one.
The father sounds like he confused. He watching too much tv. So if he convince his son not dead then he probably know where he is. Ok so if he not missing where is he then cause you so confident.
