ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- Noting that the [British] Virgin Islands has lost a valuable citizen with the death of Jamal S. Smith, Third District Representative and Opposition Member Hon Julian Fraser RA has said it is concerning that he is not seeing expressions of outrage over the demise of the local attorney.

Mr Smith was discovered dead at his Manuel Hill home with apparent gunshot wounds on Tuesday, March 12, 2024.

Extending condolences to the family and friends of Mr Smith during the Continuation of the Ninth Sitting of the First Session of the Fifth House of Assembly (HoA) on April 9, 2024, Hon Fraser said Mr Smith had a bright future ahead of him.

“We extend our sympathies, we shared our grief, we talked about the loss to the community but I haven’t seen expressions of outrage.

“And Madam Speaker, there is a lot of that to go around.”
