Christoff Griffith Nation News reporter of Barbados slain while on duty – photo from Facebook page<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nation News of Barbados is grieving the loss of one its own, Christoff Griffith.<\/p>\n

Griffith was a photo journalist for the newspaper who was slain down while on duty responding to a report of a body being found in St. Michael’s.<\/p>\n

The body was that of Glenroy James who, according to police, had also been slain on Monday.<\/p>\n

Griffith had apparently arrived early on the scene before the police and had been attacked while investigating the compound where James’s body was found.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Dominica news online teams extends our heartfelt condolences to nation news and Griffith’s family.<\/p>\n
