BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – WHAT was to have been a customary walk into Basseterre turned into an unfortunate traffic accident which left one man dead.
The deceased has been identified as Ashley Browne – a middle-aged man – and the incident took place early this morning (Apr. 7).
It is understood that Browne – who reportedly worked at Leeward Cove as a security guard – was walking along the Frigate Bay Road into Basseterre when the incident occurred.
