    Wow! Police took forever to reveal the identity, thanks Antigua.news. She’s such a young lady, life gone too soon!! We hope to hear further information on this nonesense. There’s to many stories to this. It’s just this morning I saw a different story on a news platform. Now the video is going against it. Can we hear from the boyfriend? Where is he?

    The slide show seems that they were a happy couple. What could’ve possibly caused them to want to end a 8 year relationship now that they are in a different country?

    The he say, she say will rise from this story, yes, however, we don’t know the true facts. Further more, we see how hard living is for everyone right now. So, anything is anything. We can only hear from her end, and she’s not here to say. Sad we will never get her POV

    She may have seemed fine, but we never truly know what someone is going through. Prayers for her loved ones.

    We all know that in this country, when people get killed or suicide, the intimate partner is always the “MaIn sUsPeCt”. Them police probably grilled this man in his…. (what I can’t say here) and he tell them what he tell them….. IDIOT

    Hope this is not another cause of the police who killed the woman in Freeman’s village and try to pass it off as a suicide

    Very suspicious. Needs more investigation before jumping to the conclusion of suicide. Women who commit suicide rarely hang themselves

    No young woman should die by suicide or by violence.
