Woman; raped and murdered
Sheline Martinez
Dangriga police has detained one person following the murder of a destitute pregnant woman in Dangriga. According to police reports, they responded to a call about six o’clock Sunday morning and as a result went to a house on George Price Drive where they observed a woman dressed in black who was in a seated position on the front steps bathed in a pool of blood with visible cut wounds to the right side of her face. The house caretaker told an investigator that he was about to go out on an errand when he made the discovery of the woman on the step and his first
thought was that she was asleep and as he proceeded to awake her he realized that she was dead and called the police. The woman was identified as thirty four year old Sheline Camille Martinez who was known as a homeless person roaming the streets. Police found blood stains on the bench at the bus-stop situated facing the nearby Texaco Gas Station on George Price Drive which suggests that that’s where she sustained her injuries. Other evidence police found concludes that she was raped but also said that the woman was six or seven months in a state of pregnancy. Police believes that the person that attacked the woman drag her to the unfinished building and she eventually made her way somewhere to the steps where she was found. Residents say that the woman often slept at the bus-stop where police believes she was first attacked which is not too far from where she was found dead. Martinez’ mother who chose to remain anonymous told the press that Sheline was homeless because she chose to live on the streets.
