In Antigua the police has asked for a month to compile evidence in the murder case against American John Baughman. The commission of inquiry continues in St. Lucia with the cross examination of former United Workers Party campaign manager Victor Marquis. Mr. Marquis was questioned by attorney Clarence Rambally who is representing Dr. Charles Flemming.
