Victim dies from loss of blood

Dec 18, 2008 News

The post mortem examination on the body of 25-year-old Shenese-Ann Richardson-Austin, called “Buckie”, who was killed after a brazen attack on a house at 502 West Ruimveldt on December 15 last, revealed that the woman was stabbed 13 times, and died from loss of blood due to the puncture of the jugular vein.
The dead woman’s father, Desmond Edwards, said that the family has arranged for burial to take place tomorrow.
He added that he hopes that the men responsible for his daughter’s death will be brought to justice.
Four masked and armed bandits forced their way into the 502 West Ruimveldt home and robbed the occupants of the house. According to the young woman’s sister, Rihanna Haynes, the bandits seemed to know knew where everything was situated in the house.
The bandits reportedly entered the room where Richardson-Austin was eating and watching television. The other occupants of the house apparently heard her tell the bandits that they could take whatever they wanted, and begging them not to hurt her.
Suddenly, she began screaming for her mother to come and help her.
The mother, Jean-Ann Richardson, who had been sleeping when the intruders forced their way into the house, awoke when she heard her daughter crying, but was immediately stopped by one of the bandits.
After the intruders left, family members rushed to Richardson-Austin’s room and found her lying face down in a pool of blood. She had been stabbed in the neck and she had also sustained wounds to her forearm.
The dead woman’s estranged husband, Christopher Austin, was detained by the police. He had reportedly tried to injure her (Richardson-Austin) on previous occasions and had openly threatened her before.
