Elderly woman raped three times while grandson tied up

A 76-year-old woman in St. John, Barbados, was held captive and raped three times by a masked gunman on her rural property. The assailant also tied up her grandson, who was present during the ordeal. The woman is now living in fear and distrustful of others, but she is speaking out to warn other women in the area.

The attack occurred around 11 p.m. about three weeks prior to the article’s publication, when she took her dog outside. The gunman initially accosted her, then subdued her grandson when he came to her aid. The attacker questioned her about money and ransacked her house before raping her multiple times. He also attempted to suffocate her and sodomize her.

The woman was deeply moved when her grandson, tied up nearby, pleaded with the gunman not to harm her. She has since received medical attention for potential STIs and is taking medication for sleep. Her family has installed fencing and cameras on the property, and trimmed a mango tree where the assailant had hidden. Police have confirmed that investigations are ongoing and are appealing for information from the public. The woman hopes her attacker is caught soon so she can confront him about his actions.
