St Kitts-Nevis police probe death of two sisters

The police in St. Kitts-Nevis said one person is assisting their investigations as they probe the murders of two sisters in the quiet Key’s Village community on Thursday.

Police said that Jemilia and Jemisha Finch were killed in a gully area near a basketball court.

“Both sisters were allegedly hacked to death by a young man from the Keys area. One of the sisters was apparently the girlfriend of the perpetrator,” the police said in a statement.

Media reports said that the women were between the ages 19 and 20, and one was a member of the St. Kitts-Nevis Defense Force and recently became a mother.

The police have given no motive for the killings.
