I highly doubt he dragged her from the event either...based on the context of the article it appears she went willingly.

Not necessarily so, keep in mind Bahamian students graduate early. I know I graduated at 16, by 17 I was completing my first year of college. So it isn't far-fetched for her to be out at this hour. The question is what kind of judgement skills does she possess, because at no age would I think it appropriate or safe to go into the room of a man I do not know by myself.

Now I don't know what transpired but I am going to go out in a limb here and say if she went to his room willingly and alone at 4am she had to be aware that sex was a possibility. I don't know many males that would have a female they just met come to their room if they didn't think sex was an option.

Possibly she changed her mind but at which point it might have been to late, but maybe this could have been avoided had she made a better judgement call. Not saying her being raped was justified but I am saying that females need to make better choices. And I know how these young Bahamian girls of this generation are...they go out to party, see a nice looking man, he appears to be balling, he invites her back to his room maybe with a promise to continue the party there (get more free drinks and room service), and in a bid to appear worldly and sophisticated they go along and end up in situations like this. Also I have seen women of all ages take drinks from men who they know are expecting some payment and when things get ugly it's a whole different story.

Fact is....we need to better equip our young females with morals and judgement.

I totally agree...why should people be given handouts. That's part of what's wrong with American society today...welfare. We need not get Bahamians use to the idea that they should get something for nothing. If you are able bodied then what would it kill you to work to receive something.

I am sick of Bahamians always looking for a hand out, I am neither FNM or PLP or even whatever that D something party is. What I am is a hardworking person who believes if I have to struggle get up every morning at 6am and wade through traffic before putting in eight hours to take home my paycheque then everyone who is physically and mentally able should do the same, or at the least make some semblance of an attempt to work for what they have.

That's why I would never give a man, woman, or child a dollar on the side of the road. You want my hard earned dollar then you do something to earn it. From an early age you see various youths out on Robinson Road by Mall at Marathon with five gallon bottles looking for handouts. Instead of maybe having a bucket with some soapy water to wash down car glasses they rather take your dollar and do nothing to earn it.

I could go on and on about this...i absolutely despise people who want something and have done nothing to earn it.

I have always believed these kinds of deaths are related...it is meant to send messages to certain persons. It's one thing to commit a murder but the added effect of burning the body is for show. The police know exactly what they are dealing with...and shame on them for not alerting the public to the truth behind these kinds of murders.

Amidst all of this debate on payroll tax, VAT, and national lottery nowhere...i repeat nowhere have I heard one sentence regarding how the government plans to decrease it's spending and create a budget that is in keeping with what funds they do have. In fact all I have read is where they have spoken about borrowing more money to build RBDF boats, money to outfit the new emergency centre at PMH, money to pay back their portion of the Bahamar project and money to build a PM residence.

How about instead of taxing the already struggling Bahamian people the government gets a clear and detailed budget that outlines spending that is NEEDED and cuts back on these unnecessary expenditures?

I really need Bahamians to open their mouths on the things that need to be address and stop letting the government rape and pillage.

Bahamians are living in the wild wild west, just walking up and shooting people now. SMH!!!

Sounds like retaliation of some sort. These days it doesn't have to be drug related...could just be he looked at them wrong.

Just one of the many issues that the Christian Council is using to sway Bahamians from the real issues at hand. Let's make a big deal about the porn industry but let's be closed mouth about Mr. Fraser running a church. My goodness when will we get tired of the flash and glitter to hide the real truth. Christian Council is useless...

Yea but this is so sad because only people really suffer is the children of both persons. And the family of the deceased who still have to face the family of the accused because they had children together. I can't begin to imagine what this family will now face...

This situation is so sad. Those children are motherless and now the father is in jail for killing the mother. As if Bahamian children don't have enough to contend with already, I just hope they have a support system that is strong enough to get them through.

And both families still have to deal with one another for the sake of the children. I can't imagine how Mrs. Cartwright feels to know the grandmother of her grandchildren is the mother of the man who murdered her daughter. Such a horrible situation...only God's grace can bring all parties through.
