Achazia James
Antigua.news can confirm that the body discovered dead on Sunday is a 15-year-old girl from Fort Road. Her name is Achazia James. She was a student at Princess Margaret School.
Tragically, her body was found on the Runaway beach just after 6 a.m., accompanied by a disturbing trail of blood.
The crime scene still bears the evidence of this horrific act, with deep lacerations visible on her face and head.
Additionally, a portion of her ear was severed, and one of her hands was completely cut off.
It appears she was attacked with a sharp weapon, likely a cutlass or machete, according to crime experts.
The country is in an uproar, struggling to comprehend the brutality of this incident.
Young James’s family is trying to contain themselves. They will speak to the media later. Her mother was moments ago transported to the hospital.
Our online news platform has been flooded with inquiries seeking more details.
While we possess images of the young girl, they are too graphic for publication.
Meanwhile, this is the second teenage girl found dead in Antigua in weeks.
Yenifer Bridge, 16, was found dead on June 28th along Fig Tree Drive.
Authorities suspect she may have been kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and murdered, but the investigation is ongoing and awaiting post-mortem results.
Our condolences are with the family of both James and Bridge, who died at the hands of what many are calling a “monster”
There is something so unsettling knowing that there is a serial killer (or several killers) on the loose. One can only wonder what the direction of the country is going towards.
Deepest condolences to the family and friends.
OMG it is terrible
Time to ask for outside help, Scotland yard preferable
It might just be the same person u kill the 16 or 17 year old Spanish girl early up in the year….. A possible lead
what ?????
This guy’s needs to be penalized badly ,because why?
Jaslyn,
How you know the killer is a Guy?
am thinking there is a lose criminal targetting young girls
serial killer behaviour
But what the little girl could possibly do
Why don’t you ask what” A little girl” was doing on the street at 3am -thats when she was supposedly last seen. Little Girls are in their parents home at nights.
I really hope you don’t pass on your incompetence to none of your offspring… If you have any
Condolences to the parents,I couldn’t imagine their feeling
They need to find that person and make an example,jail time does nothing they need to bring back hanging
Cameroon,
Hanging?!
You sure about your solution?
Will you still stand ten toes down on your position if the criminals turn out to be European? Do you think the Antiguan society will continue to support your position if that was the case?
to much..smh
Mental weakness that causes these things.rip to the lil angel spoil the girl future
This is almost unbearable! My heart goes out to her mom and the rest of her family! Where can one find comfort in this tragedy? The perpetrator(s) of this crime is/are monsters!!!
this monster on the loose need to be caught
This is way to much …on this little island having the citizens being scared to come out and enjoy themselves because of some wooligands
how could you just take away this young child life in this brutal way?
was she leaving with her parents? just wondering……..
this was not a kidnapping. my take is some sick GROWN man she was talking to. picked her up from her home while parents are asleep and took her to the beach for sex. but she probably turned him down and this was the result. It could be the same man responsible for last girl murder. I say 20-25 years old. Probably much bigger than these girls. Obviously drives a car because of where they were was located. This case is not hard to solve but antigua police just not ready yet. Can be certain there is dna under her nails atleast if only they would just spend a little money and send it for testing. Ask any neighbors if they saw any cars in the area around that time say 12-2am. ask her friends if she had a boyfriend she was speaking too or if she was gonna sneak out with anybody specific that night. check her phone see who she last called or texted. i don’t understand why these crimes are not being solved!!
Squid ink,
Your tale sounds just about right. Allow me to offer another scenario. How can you be so confident that the criminals were not older women or girls of her same age? Are you saying that in this time of equality, you refuse to believe that females are incapable of feeling anger, jealousy, bad mind and evil thoughts? How you know said individuals did not pay for an Antiguan/Barbudan passport, thereby making them instantly above the laws of Antigua and Barbuda??! How you know it didn’t go like dat hmm?
Squid inks you really speak some sense.
poor little girl had to go through this painful death
hopefully there’s someone who can access this girl’s phone and see what was her last messages like secoundly why did the person decide to hurt this little girl so badly ? this person is out picking on little girls and who knows when they get turned down they choose to harm them in such wicked way
Traps are needed for these demonic perpetrators. Enough is enough!
The police force & the army have some very experience female officers who are small in size. They can disguise themselves and be armed and act as lonesome little girls on the streets in the early hours of the morn. At the same time, armed male officers should accompany them by trailing the female officers in the event that they are attacked.
Every time I see this story my heart breaks 😒 justice need to be served young girl died this cruel way
agreed that’s if they will to do so
NOTHING WILL COME OF THIS‼️ BELIEVE ❗️
Jaslyn,
How you know the killer is a Guy?
Such disturbing developments. I’m praying that the killer(s) can be found and made to answer to the law swiftly.
This is horrible, my condolences to the family of the victim.
Everyone is afraid to address the issue of parenting because someone is dead. Albeit a teenage girl. Now why would a 15 year old be outside of her mother’s house at 3am? When my daughter was 15 she couldn’t go anywhere without me farless to be outside my home. I have watched the photos on social media and what kind of parent allows her 15 year old daughter to have a piercing in her navel? Ring in her nose. Dressing like a promiscuous person? Listen. Before you cast judgment…I am not saying this is a reason to kill a teenage girl but someone body dropped the ball. To her mother…and family I am sorry about this tragic loss…but I have many questions…your daughter is a teenager…15 years…yet she was allowed to behave like a grown woman. We cannot be hypocritical. She’s a victim of bad parenting. And that’s that!
My heart goes out to the grieving families. I cannot begin to imagine what they are going through right now. This type of savagery cannot go unpunished and these killers must be apprehended or else they roam free among decent, law abiding citizens and THAT is a scary thought.
Terrible, terrible news.
There are monsters among us. They have to be taken down. We cannot afford to live in fear in our country.
Such gruesome acts. Lord help us!
