Attorney Questions Delay in Prison Death Inquest, Family Considers Legal Action | VIDEO STORY

Published

Attorney Wendel Alexander is calling out what he describes as “an unacceptable silence” surrounding the long-delayed coroner’s inquest into the death of Jamaican national Chinlee Robinson, who died while in police custody in January 2025.

Robinson’s death, which was initially surrounded by uncertainty, later took a disturbing turn after a post-mortem confirmed that he died from anoxia, trauma to the neck, and cardiac failure injuries consistent with strangulation.

Alexander, who represents the family, says the prolonged delay has left them distressed and in the dark, accusing the authorities of failing to deliver transparency or justice in a case that “demands answers.”

    If there’s nothing to hide, then why the delay? An inquest should have been held months ago.

    These delays always make people question the integrity of the system. The quicker the inquest, the more confidence the public will have.

    What was expected?? This is Antigua and there’s no care unless you’re more like up there or know people up there. They released the young man who murdered Chinlee when by rights, given they were in the same cell, they should’ve held the young man until the post mortem came back.

    This could all be a paid killing and that’s why the young man was released. You charge a man because of a cell phone, and then kept him in prison because of a missing passport now his only freedom and flight is to eternity……. Considering the young man was released and the police has no trace of him, what happens next?
