While the country is still trying to come to grips with a volcano that we are not sure has burnt itself out and the continuing coronavirus pandemic that has the country still on alert, another matter stole the headlines over the past week.
It was about an incident of April 13 that had been kept covered-up until little over a week ago. The news of the shooting in the leg of Cornelius John of Diamond estate left many of us confused, especially when we were told that a senator of the parliament/deputy speaker and the Assistant Director of Public Prosecution were persons of interest in the matter. A third person, said to be involved, up to the time of writing has not been identified and is interestingly enough, not a person of interest.

Court rules against IWitness News
Journalist and owner of ‘IWitness News’ Kenton Chance Social Share
Journalist Kenton Chance and his media outlet ‘IWitness News’ took a legal blow this week, after the court ruled that he defamed a man.
However, Chance’s lawyer Jomo Thomas, indicates that they intend to appeal the decision.
This court matter stems from a claim filed by one Adrian DaSilva. DaSilva had previously been the alleged victim in a case which charged the mother of his child, Sherika Chandler, with wounding him in the area of his groin, with a piece of mirror.
Chandler appeared at the Kingstown Magistrate’s Court (KMC) on July 16, 2018, where she initially entered a guilty plea, but the court vacated this, and changed it to a “Not Guilty” plea. This was apparently after Chandler explained that what had happened had been as a result of an accident.
