Newton Ground village plunged into mourning
Newton Ground, St. Kitts, March 17, 2018 – Already reeling from missing villager, Priston Joel Flemming, the village of Newton Ground, was plunged into mourning Friday night when another of their own was brutally murdered.
According to a source, Glenville Francis was shot dead by an unknown person, who pumped five bullets into his body in the railway line area.
“He died on the spot,” a villager confirmed on Saturday.
Francis’ killing is one of two shooting incidents on Friday night, hours after the burial of the Finch sisters, who were murdered in violent circumstances on March 1.
In the Taylor’s shooting on Friday night, Hannibal Bussue was shot reportedly after he opened his door to see who was knocking. He is to be hospitalised but his condition was not known Saturday.
Newton Ground, about 12 miles from Basseterre is still looking for answers to missing resident, Priston Joel Fleming.
The 22-year-old male was last seen on February 27 in the Old Road, six miles from Basseterre.
Several searches have failed to locate him.
Francis’ murder Friday night brings to six the number of murders in St. Kitts and Nevis for 2018.
