Data compiled by Amit @barbadoscrimeblog.

I’ve been collecting, compiling and posting information on homicides in Barbados for a few years now. In addition to my monthly homicide analysis posts, I also maintain an online database covering the period 2015 to 2025, which now includes 380 homicides. The Database tracks several fields — age, parish, day of the week, and the month in which each homicide occurred. 

For this post, I’m looking at the full ten-year period to show how many homicides took place in each calendar month. The chart below shows the totals for all months combined across the decade (click to enlarge):

(SIDE NOTE: Please look at the methodology page of the Barbados Homicide Website to learn more about the methodology behind my database).

    Man remanded on firearm charges

    A 28-year-old St George man has been remanded to prison after appearing in the District ‘A’ Criminal Court on multiple firearm-related charges stemming from a November incident.

    Jarell Stefon Sutherland, of Ellerton, St George, appeared before Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes yesterday, charged with using a firearm, four counts of endangering life and two counts of criminal damage.

    According to police, the charges relate to an incident on November 27, 2025, in which the lives of Akeil Jackson, Sachin Etwaroo, Chad Bynoe and Brandon Devonish were allegedly endangered. Sutherland is also accused of causing criminal damage to property owned by Janelle Russell and Patel Puckerin.

    As the matters are indictable, Sutherland was not required to enter pleas. He was remanded to the Barbados Prison Service at Dodds and the case was transferred to the District ‘B’ Magistrates’ Court, for Monday, December 15. (NS/PR)

    Why does some Barbados news media publish photos and videos of persons accused of a crime?

    Innocent until proven guilty.

    People doing court appearances don’t get their pics published in Maple Leaf country?

    One confesses, the other denies drug charges

    A 22-YEAR-OLD WAITRESS who pleaded guilty to four drug offences yesterday will be returning to court on Thursday to meet with probation officers and will be sentenced subsequently.

    However, a teenager facing similar charges denied them all and was released on bail.

    Cherisse Romona Nanton, of Bournes Land, Silver Sands, Christ Church, and Baxters Road, St Michael, admitted in the District “B” Magistrates’ Court at the Eric Holder Jnr Municipal Complex, St Joseph, that on December 6, she was in possession of, trafficked, intended to supply and imported 4.7 kilogrammes (10.34 pounds) of marijuana.

    The estimated street value of the drugs was $37 600.

    Prosecutor Station Sergeant Vernon Waithe said Nanton arrived on a flight from Toronto, Canada, on Saturday afternoon. She collected her luggage and was on her way to the exit when Customs officers requested a search. They found nine packages of marijuana and police were called.

    Mitigating on Nanton’s behalf, attorney Damien Sands said his client had no prior convictions or history of trouble with the law. He asked the court to consider her early guilty plea, cooperation with the police and the lack of sophistication in committing the offence in that there was no attempt to hide the drugs as the packages were in plain sight when the suitcase was opened.

    He added that she was remorseful and pleaded with Magistrate Douglas Frederick to be lenient with her, as she had made an ignorant, shortsighted decision. Sands stressed that it was an isolated incident and there was no evidence of ongoing involvement in drugs. Rather, he added, it was a one-time lapse in judgement by a young person.

    Magistrate Frederick ordered a pre-sentencing report on the first-time offender and she was placed on $10 000 bail.

    Entering the dock immediately after Nanton was Ocean Maat Lolita Hinds, 18, of Lammings, St Joseph, who pleaded not guilty to possession, trafficking, intent to supply and importation of 22.8 kilogrammes (50 pounds) of cannabis, on December 5. The drugs had an estimated street value of $182 400.

    The prosecutor did not object to bail, which was set at $40 000.

    Hinds, who was represented by attorney Faith Greaves, returns to court on March 11 next year.

    @ David
    On the other hand…
    It must be embarrassing for the BPF to have to adhere to the idiotic proclamations coming from our inept politicians.

    So, we do NOT have enuff resources to attend traffic accidents that block the highways, and VERY OFTEN involve unlicensed drivers, unregistered vehicles, uninsured vehicles and illegal activities…
    BUT the police will now find time during the days to peek into vehicles with glass, to see how dark that glass is…
    There is NO PROBLEM with panel vehicles, mind you…
    …NEITHER is there any problem at night, when nobody can see one shiite…

    These SAME police announced that they broke a major international racket where stolen high-end vehicles were being offloaded in Barbados…
    MONTHS LATER, it appears that this was either a hoax, …a bridge too far for our local sleuths, …or somebody who was BIG enuff directed an end to the matter.

    Motorcycles have been a CRISIS issue now for decades.
    That is how long it has taken for action to commence…
    Have you noticed that BICYCLES are now motorcycles? …Doing impressive speeds on the highways? UN-INSURED, … UNLICENSED, … UN-HELMETED, …many ridden by children…

    No doubt BPF will start to address this by 2050 or so… IF PERMITTED of course.

    Of course…
    You do realize that if BFP got uppity and started its OWN crime-fighting agenda they MAY stumble on HOPE, STEAL housing, Radical vaccines and questionable development deals….

    What a place!
