St Kitts and Nevis Patriots’ title defence of the men’s edition of the Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) got a boost on Thursday when they defeated the Guyana Amazon Warriors by four wickets for their first victory.

The Patriots laid down the gauntlet from the first ball at the Darren Sammy Cricket Stadium, in St Lucia, with Sheldon Cottrell and Duan Jansen frustrating the batters.

Jansen took the early wicket of Paul Stirling.

Chandrapual Hemraj played a patient innings to build a platform, scoring 43 runs, before captain Shimron Hetmyer displayed some attacking intent to take his side to 162 for six off their allotted 20 overs.

The Patriots then replied with 163 for six to win the match with two balls to spare. They took a patient approach to the chase after losing the valuable wicket of Evin Lewis for 10 in the second over.

Andre Fletcher went on to score 41 runs for the Patriots before his dismissal but the wickets of both Dwayne Bravo (4) and Darren Bravo (21) in the 16th over had seemingly ended the Patriots’ chances of a win. However, Jansen and Dwaine Pretorius combined in the final overs with a 55-run partnership to guide the side to a remarkable win.

Jansen scored 23 not out from 15 balls while Pretorius hammered 27 not out from 12.

The Patriots are now third in the CPL standings with four points from five matches the same as second-place Jamaica Tallawahs, which have played three games.

Barbados Royals are leading the six-team competition with maximum six points

Guyana Amazon Warriors remain in last place with a point.

tribunal – DR

La Cour d’assises a rendu son verdict ce jeudi soir (8 septembre). Les jurés ont déclaré l’accusé coupable et l’ont condamné à 22 ans de réclusion criminelle.

Harrisson Vroust, 22 ans, était jugé depuis mardi (6 septembre) pour l’assassinat de celui qu’il présente comme son meilleur ami, Thomas Rouvel, assassiné d’une balle en pleine tête, le 22 mars 2019 à la résidence Bois d’Inde au Lamentin.

L’accusé a toujours indiqué qu’il s’agissait d’un accident, jusqu’à aujourd’hui où il a reconnu être le seul responsable du coup de feu, plus de trois ans après les faits.

Après moins de deux heures de délibérations, le verdict est tombé aux alentours de 18h45. Les jurés ont suivi les réquisitions de l’avocat général qui a demandé 22 ans de réclusion criminelle avec interdiction de détenir une arme pendant 15 ans. L’accusé a 10 jours pour faire appel de la décision de la Cour d’assises.

Premier pledges Cayman’s support to the British Crown Loop Cayman Islands

The Cayman Island premier has pledged the country’s loyalty to the British Crown in the wake of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing on Thursday.

“As our Head of State, our loyalty to the British Crown was strongest and most heartfelt under her reign. We remain loyal to the British Crown, but it has definitely lost one of its most precious jewels,” Premier G Wayne Panton said in a statement.

Panton’s expression of loyalty is sure to stand out in the region as countries, including Jamaica, are considering moving away from the British sovereign as head of state and shifting to a republic.

Barbados led the way becoming a republic last November.

Queen Elizabeth passed away at the age of 96.

Premier Panton described The Queen as “a defender of the faith and a stalwart wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother”.

During her reign, The Queen visited the Cayman Islands twice and embraced the people of the Cayman Islands.

“Memories of those occasions live on within the hearts of the many Caymanians who had the opportunity to meet her during those times,” Governor Martyn Roper said in a previous statement.

Condolence books will be opened to the community to sign beginning on Friday 9 September and can be found at the Government Administration Building in Grand Cayman and District Administration Building in Cayman Brac.

Floral tributes can be left on the steps of the Government Administration Building and the front gates of Government House.

The day of The Queen’s State funeral will be declared a public holiday.

Double murder victims were managers at Royalton Antigua

/0 Comments/in /by

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Antigua News Room

One person is allegedly in custody, assisting the Police with investigations into what appear to be double murders at a Pillar Rock residence on Wednesday, September 7.

News quickly went into circulation late that night, after the body of a Mexican man was found in the pool, shortly after 9:30 p.m.

The man reportedly had what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the head. However, the Police are reporting that he also had multiple gunshot wounds to his body.

In a press release, the Police said that a search was mounted for another male who was discovered missing at around the same time.

However, a body found floating in the pool early Thursday, September 8, is believed to be that person. A source claims the pool is very deep, and that is why investigators might have missed the second body, which also bore multiple gunshot wounds.

Reports say the sound of gunshots had been heard by a police officer working at the Royalton Antigua Resort, where the slain men had held the positions of Human Resources Manager and Accounting Manager, respectively.

Only Cesar Santos Ramirez, 36, has been identified, so far. The name of the older man, aged 39, has not been released pending further investigations.

A source tells REAL News that one of the victims reportedly arrived here only about three weeks ago.

As part of their investigations, the Police were in search of a young man who, reportedly, is now being questioned about the double homicide – the circumstances of which are still unclear.

These two latest homicides are numbers seven and eight for the year 2022. However, they are the second double murders in less than two months.

Police investigations continue into the killing of a Golden Grove couple on Wednesday, July 20. Pia Visser-Baptiste, 61, and her husband, Tyrone Baptiste, 64, were found shot to death in their home by one of the women’s employees, after she had failed to show up to work.

No one has been arrested for these homicides, to date.

Post-mortem examinations on the couple confirmed they had died as a result of gunshot injuries.

THA agrees to six-month extension of Tobago airport project

Tobago

File photo: ANR Robinson International Airport, Crown Point, Tobago.

THE THA is supporting a six-month extension requested by residents affected by the construction of a new airport terminal at the ANR Robinson International Airport.

On August 26, residents in Zone D of the project, on Crompton Trace, off Silk Cotton Trace, were given until September 15 to vacate their properties. They have now asked for an additional six months.

The residents, said Chief Secretary Farley Augustine, were expected to return to court on Friday, as he addressed Thursday’s virtual post Executive Council media briefing.

Augustine said the matter was discussed extensively at this week’s’ Executive Council meeting.

“The THA has agreed with that extension of six months, because that will allow us the opportunity to in the most humane way facilitate people being moved. I can tell you that the state agencies from out of Trinidad, they have not agreed with the six months, so it’s left to see what the ourt will decide.”

He said it wasn’t just a matter of packing up.

“Some want to save things like their windows, or the roofing, and some critical material components that they believe would assist them in their rebuild.

“So we support that call…for the additional six-month window that is being requested by the residents that are there.”

He said notwithstanding what the court decided, the THA had decided some things would be done “to ensure that those who are affected will be treated in the most humane manner.”

“We feel in that six months, we could complete the works at Cove and Shirvan. We can even take on the gargantuan task of getting some housing units completed in time to facilitate them (there).”

He said at present, three units are available to those in immediate need and would be ready for occupation by Friday.

He said the Executive Council also decided to get some storage for the residents.

“That too will facilitate an effortless flow for those,as they eventually get to move.”

He said the Division of Infrastructure, Quarries and Public Utilities is also assiduously to complete work on the developments at both Cove and Shirvan.

He said the THA’s position has always been consistent

“We agree, we do need a new terminal. Howeve, we feel strongly that the residents must be treated fairly, they must be compensated fairly, and they must be given sufficient time in which they can move.”

He said some of the residents had finally agreed on some of the compensation they are to be given, while others still see the sum being offered as inadequate and have not accepted.

He said while all that is happening, he had one appeal “to the Central Government and the ministers involved and the prime minister, to ensure that we allow for the most humane movement of people.

“We are talking about taking lands from families – they are dispossessing them and turning them out on the streets.

“We have to be careful that in this process, that we don’t destroy the social fabric of the Crown Point area.”

Vigilance jaune forte pluies – DR

L’archipel reste toujours placé en vigilance jaune jusqu’au vendredi 9 septembre 2022 en matinée, en raison du risque de fortes pluies dans le cadre d’une onde tropicale.

De bonnes cellules orageuses peuvent encore sévir sur le Nord Basse-Terre, la côte-sous-le-vent ainsi que le Nord Grande-Terre en passant par la région Pointoise et durant une bonne partie de la soirée.

De bons cumuls de l’ordre de 40 à 60 mm sont localement possibles. Une amélioration est attendue en cours de nuit suivante et plus particulièrement en deuxième partie de nuit.

Données observées

Sont tombés cette après-midi en 3 heures :

– 33 mm à Sainte-Rose Sofaia.

– 18 mm à Pointe-Noire Bellevue.

– 27 mm à Pointe Noire Morphy.

Mesures préconisées par la préfecture :

– S’informer de la situation météorologique

Rester particulièrement prudents:

– Si vous devez pratiquer des sports à risque en extérieur

– Si vos activités de plein air sont situées dans une zone exposée, sur terre, notamment en montagne, près des cours d’eau, comme en mer aussi,

– Si vous devez circuler dans des zones inondables (franchissement de gués ou de passages bas encaissés),

– En cas d’orage: éviter l’utilisation des téléphones et des appareils électriques. Ne s’abriter pas dans une zone boisée, tout près de pylônes ou poteaux.
