PRIME MINISTER Freundel Stuart has expressed condolences to the families affected by last weekend’s tragedies in which five people lost their lives and another was left fighting for her life.

Four St Philip women died when their car crashed on Two Mile Hill, St Michael, a short distance away from the official residence of the Prime Minister on Sunday morning.

“We can only guess at the sense of loss and the trauma being felt by their families and we console with those families,” said Stuart at the political meeting of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) held on Sunday evening at the Deighton Griffith Secondary School.

The victims were Shakira Shepherd, 22, Shameka Shepherd, 23, Waveney Johnson, 25, and Kayrie Brathwaite, 18. A fifth passenger, Nakisha Shepherd, 23, was rushed to hospital in critical condition.
