Authorities have confirmed the completion of a post-mortem examination on the body of George ‘Charlie’ Barnes, a prominent businessman who was tragically killed in Antigua and Barbuda. The examination, conducted by Government Pathologist Dr. Petra Miller-Nanton on September 29, has yet to reveal its findings as the homicide investigation remains ongoing. Barnes, a 74-year-old gas station owner, was shot outside his home on Nugent Street, Ottos Newtown, on September 12. Reports suggest that an unidentified assailant approached him shortly after he arrived home and fired a fatal shot to his chest before fleeing the scene. The murder has sent shockwaves through the local community, where Barnes was highly regarded for his dedication and generosity. Investigators are actively pursuing multiple leads but have not yet established a motive for the crime. The public is urged to provide any relevant information by contacting the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913 or anonymously through Crimestoppers at 800-TIPS (8477).
