Murders rock Antigua

Antigua and Barbuda National Security Minister Errol Cort has expressed dismay at continuing gun violence in the island.



Three murders have so far taken place in the country this year.



The latest victim is the 21-year-old brother of an accused man awaiting trial for the murder of a British honeymooning couple last year.



Meanwhile, Dr Cort says the proliferation of illegal firearms and ammunition must and will be stamped out.



He has announced that the police will be increasing stop and search and other crime-fighting measures.
