. I mean, you'd think a place like Castara would be super chill, right? But apparently there's some dark stuff going on under the surface. I feel for the victim, Christopher Brown, and his loved ones - this is just senseless 
. And now they're saying one suspect is in custody, but no charges have been filed yet... that's a bit frustrating, you know? The community is still reeling from the news, and it's hard not to think about all the what-ifs and maybes 
. Can't wait for some answers on this one 
.
...I mean, can you even imagine being in Tobago and something like this happening? It's just so sad 
. The police need to hurry up and find out who did this & make sure they get justice 
. I'm thinking of the family of that poor guy Christopher Brown, he was 42! 
The local official saying it's a tragic murder is so true...it's just devastating 
. I hope the police find all the evidence they need to catch the person responsible 
.
. It's crazy that someone would resort to violence like this 
. And to think he was just trying to buy some weed and ended up getting stabbed multiple times... it's just so senseless 
.
anyway, gotta feel for Brown's family and friends, that's just heartbreaking 
.
The fact that a metallic object was found protruding from his back suggests a level of violence that's hard to comprehend 
.
. Tourism is such an important part of their economy, and this could potentially scare off visitors. But at the same time, it's reassuring to see local officials condemning the murder and offering support to the community 
. The investigation needs to continue with no stone left unturned 
.
. it's crazy to think about how one wrong move or a few bad apples can lead to this kind of tragedy 
. also, feels like we're not hearing enough from the authorities on what's going down

. I mean, what was the logic behind that? 
seems like they're taking their time to gather all the evidence and piece together what happened. I hope they get it right, though - this victim deserved justice 
. And yeah, it's definitely a blow to the community of Castara, who were supposed to be enjoying some peace and quiet in paradise... 
This guy was just a tourist trying to have some fun and now he's gone 
. It's just one case, but it's still a reminder that we've got some work to do to make our communities better places for everyone
