Former Councilor Deannie Requena is Stabbed and Robbed

Former City Councilor Deannie Requena is recovering from stab wounds and other injuries she suffered when she was attacked on Sunday. The incident happened sometime before two in the afternoon near Hattieville and Requena was found by another motorist who helped her to the Hattieville Police Station. She was observed with stab wounds to her face and neck and with a damaged vehicle on the roadside near mile fifteen on the George Price Highway. It Is reported that Requena knew her attacker and within a few hours, police had already apprehended the individual and charged him. In a Facebook post, Requena wrote that she’s doing okay physically. She informed that there were two attackers, both of whom she knew. She said one stabbed and punched her, while the other robbed her of her iPhone and the money that was in her purse, cut all the tires on her vehicle, and broke up the glass on her vehicle. Requena said that she’s grateful to be alive, but that the attack has left her mentally damaged. Today, Commissioner of Police, Chester Williams told the media what they have on the incident so far.

 

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police

“Miss Requena visited a friend in the central prison yesterday and while she was leaving, the relative of that same friend that she visited attacked and stabbed her, robbed her of three thousand dollars and damaged the four tires for her vehicle. She was taken to the hospital, treated, released, and she gave a report to the police. The suspect is in custody and should be charged by now.”

“Not to our knowledge, no.”

 

Reporter

“And did Miss Requena ever mention to you that she had interacted with this individual before?”

 

Chester Williams

“No.”

 

Reporter

“Is it true that they rammed her off the road while she was leaving the prison?”

 

Chester Williams

“I know the vehicle is damaged. The four tires were also stabbed and perhaps that could be the case. But like I said, the vehicle got damaged. She got stabbed and the matter is now with the police.”
