Woman gang raped in cane field Tuesday, May 1st 2007 |
 |
| A woman who left her home to put out the garbage was kidnapped by four men and savaged in a cane field. Police found the 23-year-old businesswoman at the side of the M-2 Ring Road Sunday night-some seven hours after her ordeal started. She was listed in a critical condition at the San Fernando General Hospital last night, with doctors trying to stop the bleeding to her private parts. She told police she left home at 2.30 p.m. and walked to a nearby dumpster. She said she saw four men sitting in a car and believed they had stopped to use the dumpster. Instead, they snatched her and pushed her into the trunk of the car. She was gang raped. Her family reported the woman missing when she did not return home. South Western Division Police on patrol along the M-2 Ring Road found her around 9.30 p.m. Her hands and feet were tied.

The above article, quoted in its entirety, serves as a sobering reflection of the callousness and brutality with which decent law-abiding citizens can be suddenly struck.
I feel for this young woman. I cannot even imagine the extent of suffering she went through physically, but the mental anguish will be much worse, and any signs of normality after this can only be a testament to her inner strength and willpower.
Today, I can only ask that you put yourself into her shoes, and try to feel for yourself the hell she must be experiencing right now.
Then, post your prayers here. I will print them and send them to her. If you wish to send cards, then please email me for an address to post them to. (I do not know this woman personally, I just believe that support from us all may help in some way).
To the police officers, especially those who found her. Think of your relatives, one of whom this could have been. Get off your sorry arses and catch these men!!
