Linus Constantine.
STATEMENT - The National Youth Council (NYC) stands in solidarity with the family, friends and relatives of Linus Constantine.
Linus Constantine was a former youth parliamentarian and an ambitious young leader who has been missing for over three months with surrounding claims that he may have been the victim of a gruesome murder – a truth now only short of DNA evidence to identify a partially decomposed body.
Despite the need to be patient in such an unusual case, the NYC believes that closure on this case is needed after such a long period and with so much information giving alternate evidence to the identification of the young man.
As we witness another session of youth parliament today, the NYC wishes to encourage youth to align themselves to positivity and to take interest in activities which enhances leadership skills, interpersonal skills, and other areas of self development, and to avoid finding themselves in situations or environments that compromise their life and general safety.
