Law enforcement officials in Antigua have opened a full criminal investigation into an alleged kidnapping that left a young boy hospitalized with multiple stab wounds across his body.
According to initial reports, the injured child was discovered several hours after the alleged abduction took place. Emergency responders immediately transported him to the island’s main healthcare facility, Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre, to receive urgent medical intervention for his wounds.
Insiders familiar with the case confirmed that the boy suffered lacerations and puncture wounds across multiple areas of his body. Fortunately, medical teams have assessed that his injuries are not expected to prove fatal, though no further updates on his current progress have been released to the public as of yet.
To date, investigating authorities have not disclosed any public information about the potential motive behind the incident, nor have they confirmed details about how the alleged kidnapping unfolded. Detectives are currently working through evidence and witness statements to piece together a full timeline of events and identify any persons of interest connected to the attack.
The investigation remains ongoing, and officials have confirmed that additional details will be released to the public once further progress is made in the inquiry.
