A senior police officer in Antigua and Barbuda has expressed frustration after her court case was postponed once more.

Tulip Horsford, a veteran of the Royal Police Force for over 20 years, left the courtroom visibly upset after proceedings were adjourned until 10 June. The case stems from a fatal accident on 18 May 2023 on All Saints Road, which claimed the life of 18-year-old Keane Gregoire.

Horsford’s daughter, La-Shanti Cooper, was allegedly behind the wheel of a Toyota BB when the vehicle crashed. Police say she was speeding when she lost control, veering off the road and colliding with a column. Cooper, then 19 and holding only a learner’s permit, initially denied driving. She later faced multiple charges, including causing death by dangerous driving and driving without a licence or insurance.

Horsford was charged separately for permitting her daughter to drive without insurance. The case has faced repeated delays, prolonging the wait for justice.
