Mother of Lindo Creek massacre victim appeals for Commission of Inquiry

Eight years have gone by since the burnt remains of eight miners were found at Lindo Creek and the wife of the camp owner is calling on the government to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the tragedy, which she says has left more questions than answers in its wake.

Jackie Arokium, who resides in the United States, said that to date there is still speculation and suspicion and she, like the other relatives of the deceased, wants answers for closure.

“I am making a plea to the new administration, to remember us, the families, to solve this mystery that continue[s] to haunt us each day as we all need to know what happened to our loved ones,” the woman said.

Her son, Dax Arokium, his uncle Cedric, Compton Speirs, Horace Drakes, Clifton Wong, Lancelot Lee, Bonny Harry and Nigel Torres were identified as the victims of what has now become known as the ‘Lindo Creek massacre.’
