HIS name was Leon Westerman. At 28, the first murder victim of 2008 was gunned down on his way out of a bar just before midnight on Tuesday, January 29th. According to the police report, two masked gunmen fired multiple shots at Leon, who succumbed to his wounds at the Alexandra Hospital. The headlines soon blared: Nevis has recorded the Federation’s first homicide for 2008.  Pathologist Steven Jones of Barbados would later find that Leon’s death was caused by hemorrhage and shock due to gunshot injuries to the abdomen.
