SKN Denies Link Between US Murder Suspect and Federation

SKN has firmly rejected claims circulating on social media that Tyler Robinson, the US student accused in the fatal shooting of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, had ever visited the Federation.

In an official statement released on Monday, the Fed said there is “no evidence that neither the individual nor his family entered St Kitts and Nevis” and stressed its commitment to maintaining accurate information. “We remain open to reviewing any credible information to the contrary, as accuracy and truth are paramount,” the statement added.

The Fed underscored its strong border security framework, noting that entry into the Federation is carefully monitored. It also clarified that access to local shooting ranges is strictly controlled, requiring a valid firearm licence issued by the police.

Authorities urged citizens to act responsibly by avoiding the spread of unverified reports that could damage the country’s reputation. “Nationals are encouraged to rely on official government sources for reliable updates and information,” the release stated.

The clarification follows heightened global attention on the case in the United States, where Robinson was arrested in Utah in connection with Kirk’s assassination at a university event last week.

For St Kitts and Nevis, the Fed stressed, protecting the integrity and safety of the Federation remains the highest priority.
