A hus­band and wife were shot, chopped and wound­ed by cel­ery thieves who in­vad­ed their home at Aranguez, on Wednes­day night.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, at about 10 pm, the 48-year-old man and his 52-yeat-old wife were at a makeshift gal­va­nize shed in their gar­den lo­cat­ed off Sama­roo Road in Aranguez, when they were awak­ened by five men at­tempt­ing to steal their cel­ery crop.  All the sus­pects were dressed in black with masks cov­er­ing their faces. The man, po­lice said, con­front­ed the thieves and a scuf­fle en­sued. One of the sus­pects who was armed with a firearm shot him in the left side of the ab­domen.

See­ing her hus­band shot, the woman at­tempt­ed to hide un­der a bed while one of the sus­pects kept chop­ping the gal­va­nize in the shed from the out­side with a cut­lass. The cut­lass, po­lice said, bored through the gal­va­nize to where the woman was hid­ing, chop­ping and wound­ing her be­hind the neck.

The men then left the area.

The cou­ple was tak­en to the Er­ic Williams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex by of­fi­cers of the North-East­ern Di­vi­sion and Emer­gency Re­sponse Pa­trol, where they were treat­ed and ward­ed. Both are said to be in sta­ble con­di­tion.

During my consultation with Ms Brafit CEO Nicole Joseph-Chin, what was supposed to be a simple mastectomy bra fitting became something much deeper. Her thoughtful questions unlocked emotions I didn’t even realise I was holding in. She comforted, reassured, and helped me face the truth of what was coming. That bra wasn’t just clothing—it was the first real symbol of life after surgery.
