Police have taken a man into custody for questioning as they commence investigations into the death of an elderly woman at a senior citizens home in Vauxhall, Christ Church.
Police were called to the Vauxhall Senior Citizens Home just after 6 p.m. on Monday January 21 for reports that one of the residents there had been injured.
Acting Senior Superintendent of Police at the Southern Division Bruce Rowe said on arrival, officers found the body of an elderly woman who had died of suspected stab wounds.
“There is a person in custody assisting us with the investigation but we will not disclose any names at this time because of the fact that we have to notify family members,” Rowe said.
The superintendent confirmed that the man in custody was also a resident at the home.

There you go Assie Moore with your tainted racist slant again. I leave you to Donald Trump, who clearly – as a racists himself- has it in for the hispanics like yourself, trying to enter the USA from the south. Please let us on this blog know when you’ll be back in Barbados, so we can give you a red carpet welcome Assie Moore. Your name would be engraved.
Ya put ya mother in a home….. To end like that! I really hope these homes consider using security now… Condolences to the family…
This home have been having so many issues for awhile now and all of them were kept quiet. I had a friend living there and he suddenly past away but he had everything documented and he was planning to go to the media with it ,then in good health all of sudden he was gone.
Condolences to the family and friends may God give u strength and answers.
Satan is running rampant in Barbados but we got to plead the BLOOD OF JESUS for these demonic forces.We have to put GOD in front of us and not behind us,stop giving satan to much attention.This is really sad and then having to break this news to her family,it is outrageous what is going on here.Poor lady,may her soul rest in piece.I am really praying that all of this nonsense will soon stop.
This old lady’s death in that institution is disturbing, I could well imagine what her family is currently going through. I envision a big lawsuit coming, but – in my opinion – the devil is very very active in today’s world, moreso now as it seems, than ever. We express surprise when strange things occur around us, and then try to explain it in our own way. The truth is that we are caught up in an energized battle of spiritual warfare, which is taking societies by surprise, at a time when persons are way down on their luck in this world economic crisis. Instead of looking to God for help, it seems that quite a few people are turning their backs on worshiping him through Jesus Christ, and are turning to the occult and other means for survival. That is the devils open door, hence the evil now existing at this level in our midst. Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you”. Read your scriptures before making stupid comments to my observation, please.
@JOHNNY CROW there is nothing racist about what OSSIE MOORE said, i doubt in my heart that there are 50 thousand whites living there in barbados, so i agree lord help black barbados, black are the majority living there, and its the black s who killing and causing the problems for the country, black on black crimes, you dont hear whites killing whites, you think its all well in the white quarters, hell no, but you dont hear them, look around the world and see even if things aint good among whites when some thing happen they come together, on the other hand when things aint good with blacks and something major happen, black dont come come together, its every one for him self, cause it aint my fight, that is why blacks will remain with out a voice, we are the only black race on this earth, with the exception of a few black indians from india ,sri lanka, and in australia, blacks are the most hated, because black are bad minded and dont like them own , and bajans dont like to work, that is a part of why the economy is in problems, young ppl home sitting idel doing nothing to help the country, acting like the country or the world owe them some thing, no body or nothing owe them anything, and if the whites had to pull out of barbados, bajans black gine eat them selves,cause its the white man who money got the country prop up, so may the good lord help black barbados, i agree with you OSSIE MOORE,
I don’t want to speculate on what happened between the old man and old lady, but it’s a shame to carry such rage into your later years. Stabbing some one several time usually points to the perpetrator loosing control emotionally.
Oh and you bajans living there say that the foreigners coming and carrying way the jobs, if there werent jobs available them wont be able to get them, which shows again bajans are lazy, call the GUYANESE parasites, but look who are the parasites, bajans,that want to live off the country and dont want to do a thing, because they have this freeness mentality that was swon by ERROL BARROW, whats a stupid man he made bajans believe that them had the right to every thing barbados, no wonder why he linked with MARCUS GARVEY, another joker, cause he brain wash the whole of jamaica back in the day, in the land of the blind the one eye man is king, them stupid ideologies them two bring back them would have never gotten no where with these educated ppl today,
My condolences to the family but this sounds like a serious case of mental health that went unnoticed
We have to get back to christ
The AG is all focus on GUNS coming through the Bridgetown Port, and there are 3 ports in Barbados. Why no focus on the other 2.
That’s why u need 2 people to wk together with d patient so that they will always be under a watchful eye cause a lot of them have mental health cases that is being ignored
Lack of caring and observant staff
Another one bites the dust and still counting Or should I say that DIRT A RUN RED in Barbados
ALEX ALLEYNE which or what is the other two, the AG focusing on the one that is a big killer when ever it raise it head, and its the gun play, and them coming in some place, cameras want placing in the port all over, the ppl gine either work or resign, cause it seem like them on the ppl pay roll, look how many guns were coming in with the BMWs parts, and if that white man didnt get kill no one would know ,, so some body down there was doing the dirty work, cameras want putting in ever space at the AIRPORT TOO, and how about the other little ports of entry with them big boat, that ppl call YACHTS, wanna know wat happen at those ports, not a single soul, so you try and go shut ya mouth
ROGER PARISH :
@JOHNNY CROW there is nothing racist about what OSSIE MOORE said.
Ossie : Don’t respond to that idiot ROGER , he can’t even spell his first name correctly . . . his real first name in bajan spelling is johnnie.
This case looks like a law suit is in the works, especially if the lady`s have overseas relatives who would know about suing when things go wrong.
