The court will decide tomorrow whether Alexta Francis, who has confessed to the murder of MP Asot Michael, will be committed to stand trial in the High Court.
Francis, 26, remains in maximum security at HMP following her admission to the November 5 killing. Michael’s maids discovered his body in a pool of blood, suffering from multiple stab wounds. A family insider described the attack as brutal, with part of the weapon still embedded in his body and his teeth knocked out.
Security Concerns & Investigation Updates:
– Reports indicate that Francis and her mother have received death threats, raising concerns about safety at the upcoming hearing.
– Scotland Yard is assisting local authorities with the investigation.
Legal Implications:
Michael’s murder is unprecedented in Antigua and Barbuda, as he was a sitting MP at the time of his death. If convicted, Francis could face life imprisonment or the death penalty.
