I hope he goes to prison he killed a man he blocked his air way to breath a worker came in the threat was over he still refused to get off the man till police got there he knew what he was doing he took a life and should go to jail. I hate how ppl are using self defense to kill someone and how do we really know he was attacked since he killed the other person he could be lying.
The real story IS HE WALKED IN ON HIS WIFE AND FUCKBOY MYLEZ TOGETHER. he got pissed the kids weren't even in the room they were on the beach. Guess who they were on the beach with. Hm. That's right they were with Scott their dad. The wife thought she had enough time to do what she had to do. So the dad along with the kids come back. He catches his wife cheating and get MYLEZ. His wife was recording from fear that her husband would try to attack her. So she was recording for her safety. The hotel which is action owned by a US company was easily persuAded to dismiss certain activities. And thepoor workers there were paid to remain silent plus if they lost their jobs they wouldn't be able to live there. Oh and you want to know what else is funny. You guys should be looking at Emily "Garlick" his daughters mother. I'm no longer in Anguilla so I can actually give facts. Welcome to the new world baby. ;). TEAM AMERICA.
Regardless to all the negative comments been made…..he still have to come back and face an all black jury of 12………just like in the sixties in the deep south…..now…!!!!!!!
WHAT THE HELL DRUGS AND ALCOHOL HAVE TO DO WITH THIS CASE😡😡😡😡 THIS MAN SUFFOCATED ANOTHER MAN AND DID NOT LET HIM SO HE CAN BREATHE.
Caribbean is corrupt.
Glad the armed robber died.
People from other countries see that your from the US and assume your rich, lacking in understanding we have to work just as hard to get where we want to be in life.. Then again media in all aspects doesnt help. Another thing many people who want kill someone or have will tesified in churches or killing shows, when they were about to or desire to kill someone they prepared emotinally through drugs and mentally through music and went on without a thought.
Racist pos
It's "Kill or be 'Killed" I think if a man comes in 2 your room demanding money and you get the best of him that should be enough.He bit off more than he could chew.
The dude was probably banging the wife, the husband found the wife and the dude drinking and doing coke and got upset he wasn’t invited and decide to kill him?
Self defense period
Why would anyone be so dumb as to go on vacation to an orc country or protectorate or whatever this uncivilized place is. I mean seriously. A lot of whi peepoe seem laughably oblivious in this regard. I live in us and we know not to go to their neighborhoods, let alone their many mordors littering the globe. Go to an orc country and expect orcish consequences. What's wrong with Uruguay? Or Costa Rica? I mean if you want to go to an exotic nonwhite locale, why not Japan? Naivety is a sin in judaism, and I think they are right in this regard. He put his family in danger the moment he chose a cheap and filthy vacation spot as opposed to a resort operated by actual human beings in a country populated by pure blooded human beings.
That's what he gets any dad will try to kill an intruder have no choice
This is crazy 2 questions where is the knife and where is the video of him entering meaning he was on that coke on some craze rage shit
Fishy story…..
Island getaway
He rolled his last paradise….
Seems pretty fishy …
Doesn't sit right , a lil to out of the blue . . .
I'm thinking a fight of some kind with both having cocaine and alcohol in system…
Maybe he wanted his money for fronting the white guy coke and hookers,
Tried in front of white guys kids, he played dumb and black guy got offended and boom they fought…
A knife fell out of the black guys pocket but he never intended to use it on a White American guest whose money fuels there lifestyles…
No , something doesn't smell good in the streets of Denmark tonight…
They’re only saying that because he’s black … liessssss I smell
Wow… this is bs this is why I’m afraid to travel.
Most people know nothing about the people of Anguilla. Anguilla has been a hidden paradise, tailored for the very rich. I met Kenny, a humble man and his British wife and beautiful child. The media has only portrayed him as a coked up theif.
Anguilla is aiming to be soley for the filthy rich. A murder of their own family is collateral damage to welcoming the rich to spend gobs of money on their island.
Kenny will not get to speak, even though that is exactly what he sayed he wanted to do, just before Hapgood finished him off.
Look what Epsteins money allowed him to get away with for years. His money made law enforcement look the other way.
Read the details before spouting ignorance.
Hope he wins! That’s a real man!
Why is this guy on trial? Armed, high employee/assailant scams his way into your hotel room in an attempted armed robbery and ends up dead, and you are tried for manslaughter? He's just going to apologize and leave while smiling if you let him up after the struggle? And if he has to hold him down, but the guy is able to get free, who knows what could've happened to his wife, or little ones.
If anyone comes near my family, I will be killing them too.
Some of the comments here are vile and disgusting. This man killed a human being, whether it was for self-defense or not, and needs to stand trial. This isn't the U.S., so stop trying to apply American laws to a foreign country.
Also, a lot of these comments are very hypocritical as well. So this man is a "hero" for killing a man in a foreign country, but as soon as someone comes to the U.S. from a foreigner country and kills an American, in self defense or not, they are instantly vilified by many of you because they are a foreigner. Many of you wouldn't even hear that person's case, but will gladly accept this one as fact because many of you probably "relate" to this man.
He knew what he did was wrong hence why he went back to face the music. Don't act like this was a victory because the chance of getting robbed as a tourist can happen anywhere and does happen.
I smell lies
Yo why would u go back if I murder some one in out for good fuck your casse amigo
Why would he go back only to face trial. I’d stay my ass in Connecticut and tell them if you want me so bad, come and arrest me.
I looked everywhere to find another carrier of this story. Alas, ANC was the only one with the story.
Let’s looks at motive….why would someone with his family on vacation (who has enough money to do that) kill someone in a foreign country. What’s the motive? He has no need to kill anyone other than to protect his family.
And Hong Kong is complaining.🤔
Why would a wealthy business man travel to the island with his four daughters and then kill a man for no reason?
I believe the father…
That island is not a US territory. So why going back make no sense.
People respond and decide guilt or lack of it without true knowledge. What about the wife filming the whole thing? How much did Mr Rich Man Hapgood pay for that toxicology report? Question everything the defense claims. Kenny was alive for minutes, while security was present and allowed Hapgood to continue to murder him.
Remind me why he is going back there? Extradition?
