The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) wishes to address recent statements made by former Prime Minister, Hon. Dr Timothy Harris, regarding our handling of the investigation in the homicide of Azziwah ‘Milk’ Niles-Jones, and our communication with the victim’s family. We must unequivocally condemn the accusations of neglect leveled against our officers

by the former Prime Minister. These allegations not only misrepresent the facts but also

undermine the dedicated efforts of our officers who tirelessly work to resolve cases and

support affected families. Since the tragic incident on August 20th, 2024, our investigating officers established and have maintained multiple lines of communication with Mr Niles-Jones’ family. These include home visits and individual discussions with family members, some of which were rescheduled at the their request due to the extreme emotional difficulty with which they are faced. The RSCNPF acknowledges the deep pain and distress that accompanies the loss of a

loved one, particularly in tragic circumstances such as homicide. The well-being of victims’ families is a priority for our organisation, and we always do our best to ensure that they receive timely and accurate information about ongoing investigations. While we encourage open dialogue and constructive criticism, we also urge public figures to exercise strict caution in their statements, especially when they can contribute to further distress for grieving families or mislead the public about the facts.

The RSCNPF is wholly dedicated to conducting thorough investigations and ensuring that all citizens feel supported and informed throughout the process. We will remain steadfast in our mission to serve and protect our community.
