Grenadian leader Dr. the Rt. Hon. Keith Mitchell, has reiterated his call for U.S. assistance for the families affected by the events of October 1983. In a meeting with U.S. State Department officials, over the weekend, Prime Minister Mitchell asked the State Department for any help that can be given in determining the whereabouts of the missing bodies of the late Maurice Bishop and his Cabinet members. Prime Minister Mitchell told State Department Officials that the families of the late Prime Minister Bishop, and his Cabinet colleagues are still severely scarred by the events which took place in October 1983. He said, “it is important that the bodies be found so that the families can find closure and so that they can begin to heal.” The Prime Minister also noted that with the resentencing trial currently taking place, affected persons were being subjected once more to the memories of the tragic events and said he was concerned about the psychological state of the families. U.S. Officials promised to look into the matter once more, but restated their position that they had no information on the bodies. Source: Office of the Prime Minister
