Harold Lovell told Observer that the authorities do not seem to be concerned about Christian’s family, who will not be able to have a peaceful Christmas holiday.
“They have dragged their feet; nothing has happened and today the family of Nigel Christian will not have him to celebrate Christmas with them. It is a shame, it is shocking and we call on this administration to do something,” he said.

A Good Samaritan who apparently rushed to the defence of a woman who was being robbed was shot by the alleged assailants.
The unnamed man was taken to Mount St John’s Medical Centre yesterday afternoon following an incident at a food shop in Hilda Davis Drive.
Two young men are said to have approached the shop by bicycle shortly after 1.15 pm – and robbed the female attendant of an undisclosed sum of money, along with jewellery.
When she screamed for help, the man who was nearby came to her assistance.
He is believed to have been shot in the back before the attackers fled the scene by bike, police spokesman Inspector Frankie Thomas told Observer.
