The mother of slain senior Customs officer Nigel Christian delivered emotional testimony in court on Monday, recounting the harrowing moments when armed men forced her son from their McKinnons home as she watched helplessly.
According to Antigua News Room, the witness broke down in tears twice while describing the events of July 10, 2020, as the murder trial over Christian's killing continued.
The testimony came as proceedings in the high-profile case pressed forward, with the grieving mother providing a firsthand account of the circumstances surrounding her son's abduction on that night more than four years ago.
Christian, a senior officer with the Antigua and Barbuda Customs and Excise Division, was killed in 2020. His murder case has drawn significant public attention given his standing as a government official.
The court was visibly moved by the mother's account, as reported by Antigua News Room, with her emotional state prompting pauses during the proceedings.
