Armed robbery in Bequia!!! Well well well
She was taken to the Port Elizabeth Hospital for medical attention and later transferred to the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital via the SVG Coast Guard Service.
You mean that SVG do not have a helicopter for such emergency use today,how long did that rough trip took by boat ? How many big black gas gussers do we have in a convoy every day on the streets in kingstown ? another question , why was she not taken to Barbados ??
Let us now wait and see what robbery with violence equates to in SVG.
Sorry if I offend anyone but it should be ‘an eye for an eye.’
