Main Points
A Tobago nurse identified as Nicoya Bernard has reportedly been hospitalised following a violent incident at Mentor Drive, Signal Hill, which also involved a fire at a residence and the reported death of a man. Preliminary information indicates that Bernard sustained multiple chop wounds during the incident and was subsequently taken to hospital for emergency treatment. Earlier reports indicated that she was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. Information surrounding the incident remains preliminary, and TG News has not independently verified several of the details being circulated. According to initial reports, Bernard was allegedly attacked at a residence by a man described in reports as her husband. The reports allege that she sustained chop wounds to her neck and other parts of her body. It is further alleged that following the attack, a fire was started at the residence while other people were still inside. Residents reportedly intervened after becoming aware that another occupant, described in preliminary accounts as a wheelchair user, was trapped at the property. The individual was reportedly removed from danger with assistance from people in the area. Bernard and the other occupant were subsequently taken for medical treatment, according to the preliminary accounts. Additional information circulating about the incident alleges that the man suspected of attacking Bernard consumed a poisonous substance and later died. Other reports indicate that he was found or died at the property. The precise circumstances surrounding his death have not yet been independently established. Police are reportedly treating the matter as a suspected attempted murder and are investigating the circumstances surrounding the attack, fire and death. The sequence of events, identities and relationships of everyone involved, Bernard’s current medical condition and the cause of the man’s death should be treated as preliminary until confirmed through official police, medical or other authoritative information. The investigation is continuing, and further information is expected as authorities establish what occurred at the Signal Hill residence.
