In the aftermath of a shocking attack on a cherished Claxton Bay shopkeeper, a community is now fearful, clinging to hope for divine intervention and justice amidst the chaos.
Neighbours said the 68-year-old woman, known fondly as Aunty Baby, remained in a serious condition at the San Fernando General Hospital yesterday. She suffered a brain bleed, fractured ribs and severe facial swelling during the attack, leaving her in pain, and requiring oxygen and intravenous fluids.
The ordeal unfolded around 4.30 am on Friday, when neighbours heard banging and saw a man kicking down the back door of her home. They alerted police, who responded swiftly and intercepted a 29-year-old suspect wearing a ski mask as he tried to escape through a neighbour’s yard.
