BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – POLICE are currently investigating the alleged rape of a 16-year-old girl by two members of the St. Kitts and Nevis Defence Force at the historic Fort Thomas Hotel on Saturday, February 19, 2011.
Information reaching SKNVibes indicates that sometime between 12:30 and 1:00 a.m. on Saturday, while the teenager was standing on the road leading into Shadwell Estate in the vicinity of the renowned Shadwell Great House, an army patrol vehicle stopped close to her and a soldier ordered her to get into it.
The girl refused and one of the soldiers who was seated in the cab allegedly disembarked and pushed her into the vehicle, where she was forced to sit between he and the driver.
Information further states that she was taken to the historic Fort Thomas Hotel and allegedly raped by two soldiers in one of the bars by the poolside.
An informed source told this publication that after allegedly raping the 16-year-old, the soldiers placed her back into the vehicle, drove to the Newtown playfield and left her there in the company of another soldier.
“They however returned sometime after with the same truck and drove all the way to Upper Monkey Hill and leave her there,” the source added.
SKNVibes contacted the Assistant Commissioner with responsibility for Crime, Ian Queeley, who informed that the girl’s parents had reported the matter to the police sometime in the afternoon of Saturday (Feb. 19).
Queeley also informed that police are currently investigating.
