Wayne Marsh

An assassination attempt was allegedly made on the life of Wayne Benjamin Marsh, an attorney who has been called to the bar in Dominica. Marsh was shot at in Antigua and Barbuda in a village called Liberta on Wednesday night.

 Marsh operated a law firm with his wife  in Dominica before migrating to the neighboring island some months ago to practice law. He told the media in St John’s that he was having a discussion with friends when they heard a loud bang and realized it was a bullet.

 The bullet reportedly grazed the wall but Marsh said it was intended for him.

 According to him, it barely missed his head and he expressed gratitude that he is still alive.

 He further said that he believes the incident is politically motivated.

 It happened in the constituency of Antigua Labour Party MP, Chet Greene. 

 Marsh, reportedly, will be contesting that seat for the United Progressive Party whenever elections are called.
