Virginia woman killed alongside her husband was raped by escaped prisoner who stole their yacht: police

The Virginia woman believed to have been killed alongside her husband by escaped prisoners who commandeered the couple’s yacht in the Caribbean was allegedly raped by one of their murderers, according to police.

One of the three men charged with the couple’s murder allegedly raped Kathy Brandel, 71, before the trio killed her and her 66-year-old husband, Ralph Hendry, on their sailboat last month, according to the Royal Grenada Police Force.

Ron Mitchell, Atiba Stanisclaus and Trevon Robertson were all charged Thursday with two counts of capital murder as well as escaping lawful custody, housebreaking, robbery and two counts of kidnapping, police said. Stanisclaus, 25, was also charged with one count of rape in the deadly case. The Royal Grenada Police confirmed that the rape charge is related to an assault on Brandel in a statement to the Daily Mail.

The Royal Grenada Police did not immediately reply to a question about what evidence led to the additional charge, given that cops have not recovered Brandel’s body.

The bodies of the couple have not been found since they were last seen near their docked catamaran, the Simplicity, in St. George’s, Grenada, on Feb. 18 — the same day the three men allegedly broke out of a police holding cell on the island.

Police believe the escapees hijacked the sailboat while the couple were on board. It was found anchored and deserted days later.

Large amounts of blood were found on the ransacked boat, but Hendry and Brandel were nowhere to be found. Police believe their killers threw their bodies overboard while sailing to St. Vincent.

When you advocate hatred against black people, you advocate murdering them. There is no difference between hating and murdering.

Go back and read newspapers from the early 20th century. The black parts of every city had violent crimes of the sort, and at the level, that didn't exist anywhere else.

Kumbaya, my Lord, Kumbaya!

Another pattern for you to recognize is that the frequency of media stories about a particular kind of thing do not represent the true frequency of that thing.

But your comment presumes the newspapers are accurate.

How did you acquire this irrational trust in the news media?

Put down the crack pipe. Your hysterical bleatings are embarrassing.

I’d rather be embarrassed than do the low IQ bidding of the deep state cabal.

What a heart warming way to repurpose such a cursed ship.

It sounds like you are suggesting that Row Vs Wade was a good thing. If so I would ask you to consider that the lack of respect for life in the current generation comes from the lack of respect for life shown to them in the deaths of those many tens of millions. Human life is fundamentally valuable or it is not. We cannot arbitrarily say it is good in this case but not in that case or there will be terrible consequences.

“It sounds like you are suggesting that Row Vs Wade was a good thing.”

I think it should be left up to the states and individuals involved, as the Supreme Court decided.

Her husband was raped? Who wrote the headline? Someone who is in an 8th grade journalism class?
