Young woman chopped to death at Dorsetshire Hill

For the second time this year, a young woman has been killed in the community of Dorsetshire Hill, on the outskirts of Kingstown.

Dead is 26-year-old Sherol Lenteria Phyllis Knights.

A report from the Royal St Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force said Knights’s death was as a result of a “chopping incident” that occurred at around 12:15 a.m on Monday, July 10.

“Preliminary information indicates that the Knights was discovered lying motionless in the family home by a relative with what appeared to be chop wounds on her body. The police visited the scene and commenced an investigation. The District Medical Officer pronounced Knights deceased at the scene,” the police report said.

The death of Knights has brought to mind the shooting of 28-year-old Pearlinea “Sunshine” Greaves who died three days after being shot at Dorsetshire Hill, around 8:30 p.m. on Thursday February 9, 2023.
Police say an autopsy is expected to be carried out on Knights’s body to ascertain the exact cause of death.
