Filipinos beaten by gunmen @ Brandywine Bay
This information was confirmed by the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force via a press release when contacted on the matter this afternoon, October 1, 2015.
It said RVIPF Detectives are investigating an aggravated burglary which was reported at a home in Brandywine Bay early Wednesday morning.
“The two male occupants of the home stated that two men, one with a gun, came to their residence demanding money around 1am. The perpetrators subsequently assaulted both men and then fled the premises.”
The RVIPF also said the two men were taken to Peebles Hospital, treated and discharged.
“Nothing was taken from the premises. Investigations are ongoing in the matter.”
Only on Tuesday September 29, 2015, the RVIPF reported that around 11:10pm Saturday night, a 47-year-old male who recently moved to Lower Estate was reportedly attacked by a group of young males as he was walking in the area of the Sunday Morning Well. He sustained an injury to the head and is still being treated at Peebles Hospital.
Police are asking persons who were in the area who may have witness this assault to come forward. Persons should contact the RVIPF three-digit non-emergency number 311 if anything suspicious was seen or heard. Persons can also share information through the confidential Crimestoppers hotline number at 800-TIPS (8477) or any officer within the RVIPF.

situation when all citizens can own them....just in case. But of course this sentiment is assuming intelligence is
out there. So sorry you don't understand the importance of self-defence in a violent world.
1. People won't just use them for self-defense. There's plenty of stories of domestic violence hereabouts, often filed by alcohol.
2. What if guns kept for self defense are stolen and used in crimes, and forensics lead back to the original owner?
3. The quote you cite is US National Rifle Association rhetoric, a rabid industry group the purpose of which is to protect the interests of gun manufacturers in the US under the guise of an amendment to the US constitution.
Chop off their hands? Are you mad? What religion inspired you to say that?
A better punishment is a fine (money, cars, land, houses etc). A sliding scale from 1% up to 100% depending on the number of repeat offences. When they have nothing left to take, that is when you lock them up.
