    Something about that place. What goes on behind those doors? No prostitutues there again so what is so popular about the a club that no longer operates. Remember the last boy who was found there dead with a gunshot wound have not been solved?

    Antigua is now just a rolling ball of crime and someone has to step in to do something. We are not getting enough from the authorities instead we have police killing the ones they are to serve and protect, while the ones doing the crimes get away freely

      The government should get solar powered streetlight with camera combination out of china to replace all existing streetlights system and help the police to solve crime and it will curtail it.

    Seems they wanted his hands to be cut off. They made their intentions known.
