Apparent ‘hit and run’ in Kalinago Territory

Jaime Thomas

The residents of Point in the Kalinago Territory woke up this morning to the sad news of a young man by the name of Jaime Thomas, 18 years old, being run over by a vehicle. He died instantly.

DNO spoke with someone who knows the young man and according to this person, it was Jaime’s 18th Birthday, so he was celebrating with his friends. Reportedly, he was a bit tipsy and decided to leave the bar alone, saying that he was going to visit a cousin.

Around 1.00 a.m., someone spotted an unidentifiable figure in the distance and decided to investigate. To their surprise, they discovered it was Jaime’s body but it was lifeless on the side of the road in a pool of blood. According to comments by villagers, this accident must have occurred around 11.30 p.m. and no one has come forward to claim responsibility, so the culprit remains unknown.

    I urge us to be careful on the road late night with dark clothing. I was on a bus and a guy walking all in black crossing the road..the bus driver spotting the object in should say in time.. God bless he he had time sway from him. he could have hit that guy there and then. but it worse when no one owns up. condolences to the family and friends

    This is heart breaking. For the past few weeks this has been happening. It is heartless to hit someone with a vehicle and leave them on the road to die.

    RIP young star!! Hope that the driver shows up. This is so sad!!

    The people must do their own search and investigations. ALL body shops in around must look for a vehicle with front end damages. And neighbors must look out for next door vehicle owners doing their own repairs. Stores that sell paint and auto shops and garages please be on the lookout. Driver/owner must exhibit some paranoia and fright. People have to stop be dependent on these Skerrit cubs and guides to solve crimes like these or infect any crime. All they do well are to install barricades and harass good people on behalf of their boss.
