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.

Their defense will be that they were making a political statement, like Hamas. Protesting white privilege. They will be heroes to millions of college students.

Sadness.
I imagine their children will sell the recovered boat as knowing the horrific things that happened on it would be too much.
I wonder if sellers of boats/RVs are required to disclose to potential buyers any notorious history that occurred in them, in keeping with transparency and caveat emptor?

Does the long reach of Biden extend to Royal Grenada?

When you thought you needed to start a race problem, you were acting on your lowest instincts.
