Businessman allegedly beats wife for turning on house lights
Sources familiar with the alleged incident told Virgin Islands News Online (VINO) that the wife of the businessman had to be taken to Dr D. Orlando Smith Hospital. She allegedly had scratches and bruises about her body and was complaining of head pains.
According to reports, the businessman was furious that his wife decided to turn on the lights of the house after receiving a phone call sometime after 10:00 pm on May 16, 2020.
It is alleged that when the husband came home and saw the lights on he flew into a rage and grabbed his wife by her chest, scratching her in the process, and began to strike her in her head while ordering her not to interfere with the lights or go against anything he does in their home.
As he continued to assault the wife, it's alleged he repeatedly told her he can make her disappear.
The woman subsequently called the police; however, the husband was not at the home when they arrived.
He was later found, arrested and placed in the lockups at the Road Town Police Station.
It was only on May 15, 2020, that this news site reported that police were investigating an abduction and assault matter that allegedly occurred on the western end of Tortola on May 12, 2020.
Domestic Violence ‘will not be tolerated’- Premier Fahie
According to reports, the alleged perpetrator is a taxi driver, who took two of his children from the home of their mother against her will and also allegedly assaulted his children’s older sibling, who tried to prevent him from taking the children.
It was in early April that Premier and Minister of Finance Honourable Andrew A. Fahie (R1) appealed to especially men in the Territory to resist conflicts at home to reduce the incidents of violence.
Addressing the Territory on April 6, 2020, Premier Fahie said it’s a small pocket of persons engaging in domestic violence around this time and singled out the men as the primary culprits.
“I want to speak to you my brothers directly. You must stop it. Stop it. This cannot be. You cannot be abusing our females, it is wrong. You cannot be abusing our children; it is wrong,” said Premier Fahie, while adding, “God did not put you in the role where you are to be abusive. You are there to build stronger homes and stronger families, not to be a stronger monster. This type of behaviour will not be tolerated,” Premier Fahie had urged.

Adulterers and homosexuals meet the same fate - everlasting cutting off
Please get familiar with the Word of God and look for what Jesus said before blaspheming the Lord's good name.
See Revelation 21: 8 - a scripture that was God breathed
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst 4 they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5 Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” 6 This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”]]
FACTS: Adulterers and homosexuals will be no subjects of God' kingdom. Are you saying that God is a liar?
You people come with half the Truth just like the Devil. You people pick what you want out the Bible to live by. Go read the Bible again because God is not a liar.
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.
Go read the Bible and stop spreading lies. Half truths equal a whole lie. The woman went and completely turned around from her wayward course. She genuinely repented. She stopped committing adultery. God is no fool.
All adulterers and homosexuals fate is to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. Persons from neither group shall be subjects of God's Kingdom.
It is so clear that what was posted earlier is eating you up that you come with your half story - your lies. Guilty consciences need no accusers.
What part of go and sin no more do you not understand.
Reading and Comprehension is fundamental. so quick to act self-righteous that you post without understanding.
Colossians 1:13-14 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
and I am a woman. there must be more to the story.
I was in an abusive relationship and was abused because he was unfaithful. Any little thing ticked him off. Abuse was his way of trying to damage my self-worth.
are also beating up the woman that give you life.
Persons stay in abusive relationships for so many reasons, some of which includes children, their religion, the way society looks on and some to avoid being taken apart by the media (like what is being done here right now). Sadly some also stay for selfish reasons.
Abuse is a cycle and the more the wheel spins the worst it gets. Let us take the approach of assisting the fallen, avoid condemnation and try to make it better for all involved.
