Calls grow for an investigation into St Lucia Minister Richard Frederick

AINT LUCIA – St Lucia Minister Richard Frederick is embroiled in a firestorm of accusations following incendiary statements on his Thursday night television program, Can I Help You. Frederick’s chilling remarks about the murder of Afo Clarke have left citizens and analysts alike questioning whether he is merely a government minister with insider knowledge or a man deeply entangled in a brutal crime.

St Lucia Minister Richard Frederick alongside individuals reportedly linked to discussions placing him on the U.S. radar, as reported by The Star Publishing.

Frederick’s comments went far beyond the realm of responsible political discourse. Speaking directly to Rosh Clarke, the son of the murder victim, he boldly declared: “Your father was killed on the third attempt. There were three attempts to kill your father.” Frederick described one failed attempt in which a bullet became lodged in Clarke’s locs (hair) and another where the victim narrowly escaped an ambush.

However, the minister’s most explosive statement came when he accused Clarke’s mother of being complicit in her husband’s murder: “Are you aware that your mother was implicated in your father’s murder? If you’re not aware, your aunt Cheryl would have told you, those are not allegations; those are facts.”

These remarks, made with apparent confidence and chilling detail, have sparked outrage across Saint Lucia and demands for Frederick to be investigated not as a witness, but as a suspect in the murder of Afo Clarke.

A Minister with Ears to Law Enforcement

Frederick’s ability to make such specific and damning claims has added fuel to speculation that he maintains close ties to the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force, giving him access to sensitive, classified information. Critics argue that his alleged connections within law enforcement not only provide him with an upper hand in gaining insider knowledge but may also enable him to cover his tracks in criminal activities.

“This is not a case of casual information-sharing; this is a government minister potentially using police intelligence to protect himself and manipulate investigations,” said a retired senior officer.

There is a growing belief among Saint Lucians that Frederick’s proximity to law enforcement allows him to navigate and exploit the system, making him untouchable even in the face of serious allegations.

A Minister or a Suspect?

Frederick’s public statements have placed him in the crosshairs of a growing national scandal. Law enforcement officials routinely withhold certain details of unsolved murders to protect investigations, yet Frederick seemed to know intimate facts about the case.

This raises the most damning question of all: Did Frederick participate in or orchestrate Afo Clarke’s murder?

The two most likely scenarios only deepen public distrust:

  1. Frederick has been illicitly accessing confidential police files to obtain classified details of ongoing investigations.
  2. Frederick possesses this knowledge because he was directly involved in the crime.

The idea that a sitting government minister could either hold sway over police operations or be complicit in violent crime has left Saint Lucians demanding immediate answers.

A Pattern of Disturbing Knowledge

This is not the first time Frederick has made controversial claims about crimes. Recently, he alleged that a man shot by police after a carjacking was wearing jewelry stolen in a heist just days earlier. Critics are now asking: How does Frederick consistently acquire such classified details?

If he is exploiting his position to infiltrate police investigations, Frederick’s actions represent a severe abuse of power. If, however, his knowledge stems from direct involvement, he may be far more dangerous than previously imagined.

Public Outrage Escalates

The outcry against St Lucia Minister Richard Frederick has reached a fever pitch, with civil society groups, opposition leaders, and legal experts calling for swift action. Many argue that Frederick’s remarks during his television show were not only reckless but a blatant display of insider knowledge that may implicate him in murder.

“This is no longer a political scandal, it’s a criminal matter,” said one legal analyst. “Frederick has openly admitted to knowing facts about Afo Clarke’s murder that should be known only to police or perpetrators. If the authorities don’t act, they are effectively shielding him from accountability.”

Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre, Commissioner of Police Verne Garde, and Director of Public Prosecutions Daarsrean Greene have come under mounting pressure to address the controversy. Their continued silence has only deepened public suspicion that Saint Lucia’s ruling elite are protecting one of their own.

A Government in Crisis

The scandal surrounding Frederick has become a litmus test for the Pierre administration’s commitment to justice. Failure to act decisively could confirm long-standing fears that Saint Lucia’s justice system is irreparably compromised by political interference.

Frederick’s unwavering confidence, paired with the government’s refusal to hold him accountable, has fueled speculation that he operates above the law. Meanwhile, critics warn that the nation’s credibility on crime and governance is being irreparably damaged on the international stage.

What Happens Next?

Frederick has so far refused to address the growing calls for his resignation or interrogation. However, the Saint Lucian public is no longer satisfied with vague explanations. They are demanding:

  • Why does St Lucia Minister Richard Frederick have detailed knowledge of Afo Clarke’s murder?
  • Was he involved in planning, orchestrating, or covering up the crime?
  • Why has he not been questioned by law enforcement?

The Pierre administration must now decide whether to protect one of its own or allow the legal system to operate without interference. Until these questions are answered, St Lucia Minister Richard Frederick will remain under a cloud of suspicion as the man who may hold the key to solving Afo Clarke’s brutal murder.
