Police have made an arrest as they dig deeper into a case in which a young Jamaican woman visiting the British Virgin Islands (BVI) was ganged and severely beaten allegedly by other women.
BVI News Online has confirmed that a female resident of Baugher’s Bay, who works at a bar in the Huntum’s Ghut area, has been nabbed.
Details of the incident, however, remain sketchy.

Reports are that the Jamaican visitor was inside the bar when she was accosted by two women – reportedly unknown to her.
The ‘strange’ women attacked and severely beat the visitor inside Pearla’s Bar. When she managed to leave the establishment, she allegedly was subjected to a second round of beating.
