Woman loses consciousness, hospitalised after domestic attack

BVI News understands that a woman who resides in the Diamond Estate community was recently the victim of a life-threatening attack at the hands of her child’s father.

Our news centre understands that the woman presented to the hospital with serious injuries and refused to tell medical personnel how she sustained them. After admitting the victim for further care, the medical personnel alerted the police. However, it’s understood that the cops had the same problem extracting information from the victim who insisted she didn’t want her attacker to get in trouble.

It’s alleged that the victim and the attacker ended their relationship some two years prior and were cultivating a co-parenting relationship.

On the day of the incident, the attacker allegedly saw the victim at a location with another man and called her phone shortly after. He reportedly asked her to meet at his house to discuss an important matter.

Our sources say once the victim arrived at the attacker’s home, he repeatedly begged her to rekindle their relationship. When she refused he brandished a ring and asked her to marry him.

She again refused and this reportedly caused her attacker to get angry. The two got into a physical tussle where the victim was flung into a wall causing her to hit her head and lose consciousness for some hours.

Sources told BVI News that she awoke in a pool of blood and several apologies from her ex-partner.

Once she left his home, she was reportedly taken to the D. Orlando Smith Hospital where her injuries were examined and specialist doctors summoned for further treatment.

It’s unclear whether she had to undergo surgery and whether the suspect used weapons during the attack.

But the victim reportedly begged the authorities not to jail the suspect for the sake of their daughter.

In the meantime, our news centre was not able to ascertain whether the attacker was accosted and charged in connection with the incident.

Women and girls continue to be the usual victims of domestic violence in the BVI.

    What Kind of Man?

    The kind that wants freedom from the tyranny of colonialism for men.

    What Kind of Man?

    The kind that does not want freedom for women.

    What Kind of Man?

    The kind that shouts racist bigotry and continues to subjucate all women and wants to subjugate “lesser” men than him.

    That kind of man.

    • @My Boy says:

      Who is to say that he was not the one loving, treating and respecting her. She must have reason(s) for not rekindling the relationship. Some of these men run around disrespecting you with other women, boldly and in your face and STILL want to lie about it. Some women take it, but they are those who give it, a one and done! Not saying that this is the case, because they are many reasons why relationships end. When you see your significant other doesn’t mind hurting you, for their own pleasure – nip it! She maybe thinking about the relationship bond for her daughter’s sake, or the financial assistance she will lose from his imprisonment. God forbid that same head injury doesn’t cause serious medical complications in the future. Lady, you could have died! Quite possibly then your child would have been without both parents…just think on that.

      Sparkle warned em, “Be Careful”, if love, loyalty and respect is not reciprocated; R. Kelly learned the outcome “When a Woman’s Fed Up…!”

      “Chucking up the Deuces!”

  5. It appears she had good reason.. says:

    It appears she had good reason to reject rekindling a relationship with this guy. Look what he allegedly did.

    It sounds like he got jealous seeing her talking to another man, got into his feelings and hurt her when she allegedly refused his hand in marriage.

    It’s a definite NO at this point. Some people cannot deal with rejection. They turn violent. If they can’t have you, they will hurt or kill you.

    I said some people because women behave this way as well.

    One of the biggest mistakes women who find themselves in these situation is not cooperating with law enforcement when they should be.

    They should be getting protective orders from the court, and in this case seeking sole custody of the minor child with supervised visitation right by the the other parent.

    This is not a joke. I understand one can get mixed emotions in these kinds of situations and they wish it will go away, but it doesn’t. It gets worse. One time is enough. He is showing her who he is; she better believe him and act accordingly.

    Once a man puts their hands on you, he will do it again. In my view, this woman needs to start thinking about her life and her child, and stick to her plan to not re-enter a relationship with him. She may not survive his next violent attack.

    I cannot stand a man who hits a woman. They wouldn’t try that on another man because they know they will get their behinds kicked.

    Hope she recovers well.

  7. Do a rape test. says:

    Waking up hours later meant he could have sexually assaulted her while she was unconscious. Apologizing for his actions seems like he is a sociopath.

    • Truly speaking says:

      Caribbean ain’t that mentally sick. Truly tge rape will quicker happen in by a family member than outside.

      That’s the Caribbean history,sadly but it is. Women tend to get rape by a family member.

    You are out having a good life. He calls you for a meeting and beats you up.

    Open your eyes lady. The next man will take care of the child too while that man pays child support. Save your good life.

  9. EV says:

    I hate and despise women beaters. My dad was one and he made me cry every time he abused her. And, it is still a repugnant and alive issue/problem throughout many homes in the VI and Caribbean diaspora, the world not withstanding.

    Sadly, from the 1950s to present nothing has changed within the evolution of some males mind.

    He has not learned nor was he taught that the path of least resistance to releasing frustrations and pent up emotional content is not through the brutalization of the female.

    That behavior should not be tolerated in modern society. It should acquire the same status as attempted murder and treated as such.

    He who cannot control his emotions in a manner conducive to peace should be put away until a man’s mind replaces that of a boy.

    Moreover, problems of existential and relational issues should be brought to a place of learning, and that attendance in such a school should be mandatory for offenders.

    It would cut down if not eliminate the often undeserving brutality and deaths of too many women. Most homes do not teach their boy child anger management,emotional control, empathy or. respect for the female.

    If love no longer lives in the house, walk away, bear the pain and find another love.

    Why is this news? This man slammed her into a wall causing her to lose consciousness. She doesn’t love herself so what her man did to her is ok. She does not want him punished. So who is sorry for her? I am not. Stupid woman.

    • I would not call her stupid. says:

      Familiarize yourself with Battered Woman Syndrome. That should shed some light on her reported behavior.

      What is being reported here in my view is a crime that probably resulted in possible brain injury.

      Health wise, this young woman may not be out of the woods. The fact that she was reportedly unconscious for a few hours and woke up in a pool of blood suggest she may have suffered a significant head injury the full extent of which would only become clearer in time.

      Battered women quite often fail to report abuse because of fear of retribution. Not to mention there is child in the mix as well.

      This young woman needs some understanding and time to process what happened, get some counselling so get clarity moving forward. Do not judge her. Her reported behavior is not uncommon.

  14. Can't pity says:

    Can’t feel sorry for the type of women who are attracted to certain type of guy’s

    And in this case she refusing to tell the hospital or police who the man is so if anything happens to her I don’t feel no pity

    They mess with these guys and breed from them (in most cases no ring ) then expect happy ever after with men who has enough red flags to build 10 kites .

    If you pick up a drugman or street man that has known reputation to beat woman and cheat. I can’t feel sorry for you

    If you pick up a man who always put clubbing, partying, drinking etc and breed for him thinking he’ll be reasonable parent. I can’t feel sorry for you

    If you pick up a man who flirting with everyone woman that pass him and for some reason you think you special in his garden… I can’t feel sorry for you

    If you with a man and taking blows but refuse to leave that relationship then I can’t feel sorry for you

    Pure clown behaviour

    Fellas no matter how pretty or well kept or good looking some women are don’t ever feel a way that they are not attracted to you cuz in most cases those same women are with some very low standard, low value, trashy men taking abuse and being cheated on only to end up a single mother. Consider it a blessing they you dodge them kinda headache

    And the quality of women are starting to drop drastically… It them ain a single mother them out smoking, clubbing,being passed around, up under drugman, on fast boats, skinning out and throwing bottom on strangers in festival etc etc they get used and abused buy their type and try to find a decent guy after the fact.

    All of a sudden they know what a decent guy is but they didn’t know the men they messing with and giving them self to was trash

    I can only hope and pray for the fellow men who has their life together to find the right one as they become scarce

    In Regards to Can’t pity statements about men

    You can’t find a good man these days because all of them are getting killed, shot, gunned-down, arrested, in prison or jail or involved in criminal activities, on drugs or becoming disabled or dying from scooter accidents.

    Only a few of them left now. You can’t even find them in the Church

    Only a few of them left now and them old or up in age and have hundred of children and grandchildren.

    You can’t even find them in the Church

    And that’s your definition of a good man? Those that are getting shot, imprisoned, etc? You too need your head examining.
