ANOTHER KILLING IN THE SPICE ISLE  
GRENADA, May 22, 2008 – According to information reaching Inside Grenada’s news desk, there has been yet another senseless killing in Grenada. The incident occurred early this morning in a place called De Blando in the parish of St. Andrew. Dead is a woman known as Ms. Hagley from the village of De Blando. Ms Hagley, it is said, was chopped to death by a man known as “Black Boy”, who also resides in the area. He is believed to have suffered from ‘mental problems’ in the past. Unconfirmed reports from a number of persons in the area indicate that “Black Boy” usually accompany Ms Hagley on mornings during her usual health walks. It is believed that the deceased would have gone to visit him while in the process of her routine walk when the tragedy occurred. Black Boy is believed to be on his way to the hospital after trying to take his own life. Today’s killing comes at a time when Grenadians - both at home and abroad - are expressing deep shock over the sudden increase in the number of murders, chopping incidents and other violent crimes that have been taking place in the nation for 2008. Grenadians are presently clamoring for some sort of action to be taken by the relevant stakeholders and policymakers to urgently address this emerging social crisis.

My deepest heartfelt sympathy to the family of Joyce Hagley/Tillock. So sorry to hear of her tragic death. I'm still in awe after reading the news & realizing it's someone I knew quite well.

I agree with Mark's comments.I am also wondering why everyone is blaming the government.One person here said its because of the tension of not calling the election.This is ridiculous.I can assure you that there will be crime regardless of whomever is running the country.We all have to let the Police do their work and to give them all the resources necessary.

mark may i say what how refreshing it is to have some positive debates on the current problem in grenada (CRIME WAVE)and while i agrees with some of your comments i will maintain that governments of what ever shade and colourdo try in whatever shape they can in the run up to an election use what ever means they can to find out whats going on with their opposition REMEMBER NIXON /watergate and should it not be if the law officers to openly investigate these issues in the proper legal way and not by by spying as was reported and also if it is found to be the case then i say bring thoes responsible to justice and not for junior minister to support the said officer in the recent youth rally as was reported,grenadians and its governments needs to get away from this old mentality that if you stone my house i will stone yours in return,we need to move forward in peace and democracy.

Even if the man has a mental problem,the main reason for al this senseless killling is because of the tension of not calling election.Grenadians want to reorganize their lives.This is how SELFISH the nnp regime is.Keith doesnot care about the country,he is just concern about his butt not going in jail

You seem all mixed up, Gabriel. The question should be 'Why are some people giving support to the people who allegedly beat up a police officer in the lawful execution of his duties?' The polices' role is primarily to DETECT and PREVENT crime and this is part and parcel of their job to serve and protect the populace. When people assault an officer of the law, they attack the institution that is formed to keep us safe and send a 'dangerous message to other persons in the community.' As for the increase in crime, while I agree with you that government needs to do more, it is also true that families, the corporate community and community/religious leaders need to do much more than they are actually doing to help deal with the problem.It has to be a solution that involve everyone and once we stand back and talk about these being the last days and waiting on someone else beside ourself to do something, things are only going to get worst.
