Jamaican dies in prison in Antigua and Barbuda

Chinlee Robinson

A tragic incident has occurred in Antigua and Barbuda, where a Jamaican national has lost his life while incarcerated. The individual, identified as Chinlee Robinson and believed to be in his twenties, was being held on remand on charges related to the theft of a cellular phone.

Robinson was scheduled to appear in court in St. John’s on Thursday for a hearing concerning his remand status. There were expectations that the court would grant him bail; however, issues arose during the proceedings. Court officials discovered that Robinson’s passport was missing, which complicated his release.

Prison staff found Robinson unresponsive in his cell. The exact circumstances surrounding his death are currently under investigation, as authorities seek to uncover any details that could shed light on this unfortunate event.
