P6 Majuro’s new Killer knocks ’em dead What’s the greatest thing to happen in the Marshalls in the past several months? If you’re stumped and hesitating over an answer, you might want to climb on board the assertion flying around radio professional Tom Kelly of the popular “Killer V” station who unabashedly admits that the station’s lively stereo broadcast is turning Majuro town topsy-turvy.

P3 Did police distribute drugs? Ebeye national police may have been the source of cocaine for Ebeye island that has led to the prosecution of nine individuals. An estimated 30 two-pound bricks of cocaine washed up in Kwajalein — as has happened at other atolls in RMI since the mid-1990s — and were turned into the Ebeye national police. But only 25 were recovered this week by Majuro national police. Majuro police demanded that all confiscated drugs be handed over.
