    “Police Public Relations Officers (PRO), Simon Edwards, said…” As for me DNO I will wait until the real Police PRO, Inspector Mills confirms the information because inspector Mills seems to be be the only authentic voice of the police. Unless I hear him call Matt on the hotseat or on talk on the block, or on his usual political program on kaire, I will not accept anything Simon Edwards says because the world knows is Mills that is POLICE PRO. How in the world world can there be justice when they have a police inspector doing that …. for Skerrit and no one can stop him?

      The young lady succumbed to the injuries she sustained during an accident and you all chose that time to play politics like is in Dominica alone these incidents happen. Instead of coming up with positive and supporting comments for the family. smh.
