According to information received by SKNVibes, two students of the Ross University Nursing School in the persons of April Rose Esparta and Sharon Cranston, Richard Speakman, a teacher at Ross University School of Veterinary Studies’ Preparatory School, and two men were involved in the incident.
Sources informed this media house that the two nursing students were walking along Fort Street when an unidentified man snatched a purse belonging to one of the women. On hearing their screams and shouts for help, Speakman reportedly gave chase after the men.
