Antiguan attacked in USVI

The Antiguan national whose throat was slashed at a party in the Towers area of West End, British Virgin Islands, has been re-admitted to Peebles Hospital after reportedly suffering a seizure.

As reported by BVI News.com, Ayoka Pond was initially admitted to the medical facility in the British Virgin Islands capital last week Thursday (January 1), but she was released the following day.

On Saturday (January 3), the resident of Saint John’s in Antigua suffered a seizure and had been rushed back to Peebles Hospital where she is still being treated, said one of her relatives who was contacted by BVI News Online.

Pond, who arrived in the territory just over two weeks ago for a visit, was reportedly attending a party with a friend she had met in the British Virgin Islands.

While sitting around a table at the party, the suspect who is related to the homeowner allegedly appeared and acted as though he was about to hug Pond.

It was then that the suspect allegedly pulled a knife and slashed Pond’s throat. The police were immediately called to the scene. An investigation is ongoing.
