Murder case goes down the tubes! Witness in fear for her life

St Lucia Star Newspaper: "Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions, Robert Innocent says the lack of Witness Protection in St Lucia is interfering in the proper administration of justice. He expressed those views earlier this week, when a witness in a murder trial refused to give evidence, because she felt her life was threatened. The young lady, in her 20s, was among the 12 prosecution witnesses who were supposed to appear on behalf of the crown in the murder trial involving two young men.

They were charged for the murder of Joseph Alexander aka “Bef” or “Jo Tex”, on November 13, 2004 at La Clery. According to the information received from the court, they battered and stabbed Alexander repeatedly during an altercation. The trial seemed to be going well, with most of the witnesses, including Pathologist Dr Stephen King and another doctor, giving evidence."
