Trump Says He’ll Look Into Case of U.S. Financial Adviser Charged With Killing Hotel Worker in Anguilla
President Donald Trump says he’ll “be looking into” the case of a U.S. financial adviser charged with killing a hotel worker while on a family vacation in Anguilla after the man’s wife appeared on the “Fox & Friends” morning show and urged Trump to intervene.
Trump tweeted shortly after the segment that, “Something looks and sounds very wrong.”
He says: “I know Anguilla will want to see this case be properly and justly resolved!”
Scott Hapgood and his family were on vacation when they say a hotel worker showed up at their room unannounced and demanded money before attacking them on April 13.
An autopsy report shows the victim, 27-year-old Kenny Mitchel of Dominica, died of positional asphyxia and received blunt force injuries to his torso and other areas.
