Murders that shocked Barbados Kim L Ramsay

Murders that shocked Barbados is a gripping historical narrative of some of the most horrific murders to occur in Barbados. Going as far back as 1933, it captures close to 80 years of a dark history of Barbados where such homicides as the cane field murders of the 1970s and 1980s terrified Barbadians. It starts with the 1933 murders of five persons in Haggatts in St Andrew by a single individual and also details some other unsolved murders in Barbados, including the well-known Pele case and the Gillian Bayne murder, which shook the island to its core, and have mystified law enforcement for decades. The book also outlines one of the most tragic events in recent history - the Campus Trendz robbery and murder. Written by criminologist Kim Ramsay, it unravels a dark part of Barbadian history and then concludes with a typography and motives behind homicides. It also outlines the plight of those left behind: the survivors of these tragedies.
