The pub­lic’s help is be­ing sought to iden­ti­fy the woman who was found dead with a knife lodged in her neck at an aban­doned house in Curepe yes­ter­day. The vic­tim, who is of mixed de­scent, was dis­cov­ered around 9 am, by some­one liv­ing close by.

Of­fi­cers of the St Joseph Po­lice Sta­tion were alert­ed that a body was seen ly­ing on a mat­tress in one of the bed­rooms of the par­tial­ly burnt house at Mc Don­nell Street, Curepe.

The prop­er­ty, which was known to be fre­quent­ed by drug push­ers and home­less per­sons, was al­leged­ly set on fire ear­li­er this year. Up­on ar­rival yes­ter­day, of­fi­cers found the de­ceased in the struc­ture, which was ex­posed to the el­e­ments.

Sev­er­al so­cial me­dia users ob­ject­ed to the term “piper”, which was as­cribed to the vic­tim, as they ar­gued that the de­ceased was or used to be some­one’s fam­i­ly mem­ber.

Roseanne Ram­di­al Hamil­ton ques­tioned, “So the hu­man be­ing doesn’t have a name?” Lisa Temull, mean­while, re­spond­ed, “Ex­act­ly. That’s where we reach. Any­way, I hope it’s not An­gel.” —An­na-Lisa Paul

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.
