Just got a note from a good friend that shortly after Alfred was killed, a mutual friend of ours was raped by a red plate taxi driver. She is European, lives in Negril most of the year each year - a long-timer, knows her way around. I was told she flagged a red plate taxi to go up to the West End to see a friend and was taken off the road and attacked by the man who was in the front seat with the driver. Sexually assaulted and broken ribs and cuts, and thrown out of the taxi. She is okay, but very traumatized, as you can imagine.
Anyone else hear about this? This insanity has to stop! What can we do?? Letters/emails/phone calls to the Tourist Board or Chamber of Commerce seem to be like banging our heads on brick walls.
I also heard that Negril has been on lock-down for the past week. Police have been going around to all the bars and shops every night at 9:30 and making them lock up their businesses. My husband told me this. He said the police are trying to "flush out" the criminals. Good luck with that!
I'm so angry/sad/frustrated....!!!
