A police investigation is now underway into the circumstances surrounding the
death of a man – identified as Rolston Joseph – a fisherman, whose body was
found in a white motor vehicle in the vicinity of the TN Kirnon School on
Thursday morning.
Inspector Frankie Thomas has confirmed that detectives from the Serious Crimes
Unit spent several hours on the scene conducting further investigations into the
circumstances around what is believed to be the country’s ninth murder for the
year.
The body was clothed in a red and white t-shirt and jeans shorts. He was found
slumped over in the vehicle as he appeared to be trying to escape from his
assailant(s). There are signs that the vehicle broke through the school’s fence and
ended up at the back of one of the booths operating between the TN Kirnon School
and the Antigua Grammar School. A cell phone was also found on top of the body
as if placed there by someone.
Further signs that Joseph may have been trying to escape from his assailant(s) are
evidenced by what appears to be bullet holes in the white sedan vehicle.
Inspector Thomas said the police received a report of the incident around 7:05 a.m.
on Thursday 2nd November.
The police are asking anyone with information surrounding this incident to contact
the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913 or call the Crimestoppers
Hotline number at 800-Tips (8477).
