Antigua Police Charge Suspect in Politician's Stabbing Death

Alexta Francis is accused of murdering Asot Michael, a controversial MP, in his seaside home.

Asot Michael, 54, was an independent member of parliament and a wealthy businessman with a history of controversies.
Michael was found dead with multiple stab wounds in his home on Antigua's west coast by a housekeeper.
This incident marks the first time a crime of this nature has been committed against a parliamentarian in Antigua and Barbuda.
The police have not disclosed a motive for the murder, stating it will be revealed in court proceedings.
Although initially seeking assistance from the London Metropolitan Police, Antigua authorities decided to handle the case independently.
