The St. Peter’s community in St. Kitts is reeling with shock after a 35-year-old mother, Colander Caines, was charged with the tragic murders of her own children, 4-year-old Calysia Caines and six-month-old Kevon Caines.
Colander was charged by the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force with two counts of Murder. The incident, which occurred between February 8 and 9, 2024, has left the community in disbelief.
According to authorities, the bodies of Calysia and Kevon were discovered at their home in Upper Monkey Hill, St. Peter’s, following a police response to the scene last Friday.
Both were unresponsive and subsequently pronounced deceased at the scene. Ms Caines was found alive in another bedroom.
“The criminal acts were committed between February 8 and 9, 2024. An autopsy was conducted on each of the children and the reports stated that the children died of mechanical asphyxia. The bodies were examined by Resident Pathologist, Adrian Nuñez,” the police said in a statement.
Caines was charged on February 12, 2024, at the Basseterre Police Station.
So far, four people have been murdered in St. Kitts this year.
