Gunmen attempt to rape maid in Slaney Hill robbery

While the police try to stem robberies in the community, it seems some perpetrators are now carrying out more heinous acts whenever they attempt to terrorise homes and businesses.

BVI News has received information that a domestic worker narrowly escaped rape when two armed men broke into her employer’s house while the victim was working.

The incident happened last week at a home on Slaney Hill, while the homeowner — who works in the legal field — was at work. The gunmen reportedly broke in and demanded that the worker give them cash. When she refused, one of the thieves began searching the apartment while the other took her to a room and demanded that the victim remove her clothes and perform sexual acts.

It’s alleged that the victim was hit several times when she refused to comply. The gunmen again asked the victim for cash, and allegedly cut her with a knife when she repeatedly told them she had no money.

Our news centre was told that the victim ran from the apartment in an attempt to escape. They reportedly caught her and beat her severely. They reportedly left the apartment with cash and valuable jewellery.

Our sources say the victim has sought medical attention for her injuries. In the meantime, the police are reviewing CCTV footage and are investigating to get more information on the attackers.

However, BVI News understands that they haven’t caught the perpetrators yet.

      It is amazing how folks just run their mouths to say absolutely nothing as in the first two responses above. Here is a lady that will be traumatized for the rest of her life and these infidels talking about nonsense.
      I pray these culprits will be caught ASAP and spend their remaining lives in prison. They’ve absolutely forfeited their right to be in any free society.

    Young Black males with ties to the upper Caribbean.
    The DNA with propensity for homicidal visciouness cannot hide the generational curse of the CARICOM errorsBVI self induced misery. Protecting the infidels and their identities…not publishing photos of these inhabitants when they are caught..exposing innocent folks to unknown danger of gun toting cannibals slithering on our midst. Tek tek is the motto of these cursed folks and by any means becessary

    So much for love my heart wants something else. Look how fast this is turning. I always wanted to die fighting, or old age. But a gun is a punk weapon. Miyamoto Musashi. Some people really do wish a … would.

  9. Amazingly says:

    It’s amazingly racist from people to presume that the perpetrators were not from here. People on work permits don’t need to commit these crimes because a) they have a job to be here and b) if you commit a crime you get sent away and lose everything Whereas if you are from here you can be idle and the Government pays you to cut bush or something equally mundane and if you do get caught you are likely to have your case dismissed.

      This is a very perceptive and accurate comment. If BVI stops being safe for law abiding people there will be much less tourism and especially financial services. Financial services, particularly could disappear overnight.

    This is bad. Bad for the VI. Oh dear. Oh no. We need new leaders. It is our leaders that have lead us here. The new ones following the same path. What the followers are doing is not right, but don’t blame them, we have had weak and corrupt leaders since H L Stoutt 2nd June 1971. The nation has lost its way. “Where there is no vision, the people perish” He knew.

    Unfortunately, it’s time for the government/ public to consider allowing people to apply for firearm licenses for self protection. The criminals obviously have access to firearms while business owners and other law abiding citizens are sitting ducks. I wonder what will be happening when we get struck by another catastrophic hurricane.

    To the victim
    I’m
    Happy u fought for your life
    I’m proud of u
    Growing up I met the same demise till this day I rem it like yesterday although it happens more than 22 years ago
    I still smell the dirty filthy hands of the perpetrator
    I fought with everything although I was only 15 years old
    Even blacked out state I was fighting back

    When u hold them
    Can the officers turn them over to the women
    Can women like myself get them for couple of hours ?
    I jus wanted a Cleaver to neatly amputate their private
    And then they can be returned for prison

    I will pray for the victim
    Reading this bring back everybody to me my eyes are running water
    My heart bleeds
    My mood has changed
