BARRETT TOWN, St James â Residents of this western Jamaica community are still trying to understand what led to Wednesday nightâs vicious attack on a woman there and the torching of her house.
The woman, who was in a shop she operates on the ground floor of her home, was allegedly attacked by a man, dragged upstairs where she was reportedly raped and her throat slit before the dwelling was set on fire. Neighbours managed to rescue her after breaking down the door and gaining access, but not before she sustained burns to her body.
She was rushed to a medical facility where she is now said to be recovering.
