Prime Minister Stuart Young said the murders of autistic teenager Malini Persad and nurse O'delle Lalman-Baptiste bothered him tremendously.

He said this while speaking in a wide-ranging radio interview on Slam 100.5 FM’s morning show with hosts Ancil “Blaze” Isaac and Myles “Selector Myles” Grant on April 22.

Persad disappeared last week and her decomposing body, bearing signs of assault, was found days later in a forested area near her home. The 52-year-old man held for her murder, later committed suicide while in police custody.
