The police commendably charged Alexta Francis, a 26-year-old landscaper, for the fatal stabbing of Asot Michael, an independent MP, within two days of investigation.
Investigators handled the case with diligence, according to police commissioner Atlee Rodney, who emphasized the importance of revealing motives in court rather than through public statements.
Asot Michael, a 54-year-old MP known for his philanthropy, faced controversies, including an international bribery scandal, yet retained influence as an independent following his party's ban.
The gruesome murder marked a historical first for Antigua and Barbuda, raising alarms regarding the safety of politicians in the region.
