A Guyanese woman accused of wounding a man in Barbados had the charge against her dismissed on Tuesday, but was subsequently handed over to immigration authorities.
According to a Barbados Nation report Donna Patricia Gittens, 30, who was staying at Baxters Road, was led away by immigration officials after it was discovered in court that she had spent the last four months illegally in the island.
The woman appeared in the Bridgetown Traffic Court on Tuesday, where she was not required to plead to unlawfully wounding Avery McVain with intent on September 1, the report said.
McVain told the court that even though he had made a report to police and knew that Gittens had been charged, he was no longer willing to “carry on with the case”.
However, the Nation said, an immigration officer revealed that Gittens arrived in Barbados in February and was granted 30 days’ leave.
She applied for an extension and was allowed to stay until April. Since then there have been no more extensions.
Magistrate Christopher Birch dismissed the charge but handed Gittens over to immigration officials.
another one bite de dust.
Yuh in de people place illegal and misbehaving?
she aint smart..
If you’re in the people’s country illegally it’s not too bright to get yourself involved in ‘eye-catching’ activities, is it?
Unless if you is a Mormon
Welcome Home.
Borapork , You live in Canada not Guyana , therefore it is President Jagdeo who should be saying “Welcome home ” to the illegal immigrants in Barbados . These people are increasing the crime rate in Barbados and their demand for housing has increased the rental rates for the working class . The government of Guyana should request that their undocumented citizens residing in Barbados , return to Guyana . Why should bajans wait until they commit crimes before they are sent back to their homeland , tell us why , Mr.President ?????
“Where there is no vision , the people perish”

just stupid thats all.
Donna, hope you didn’t commit this act to have a free flight!You may take some anger management workshops when you go back home.
THESE ARE THE ONES THAT GIVE US BAD NAME “THRO SH OUT!” It is time “THESE TYPES” BE ESCOTRED to where they belong. Decent,HARDWORKING GUYANESE desereve to walk with their HEADS HIGH.How could one be illegal and dare to get involved in TROUBLE?
Bajegal is DIS ONE U HAF TO CUSS. I do hope when you would be commenting you will direct ONLY ON THIS TYPE and not Guyanese in general.
Reddy in Barbados,aka the Guyanese Consulate states in another news item, quote “The Immigration Department has a job to do.”
Thank You,lol!
However,I’m wondering why the P.M of Barbados hasn’t published the new rules yet so that everyone knows it WILL be enforced.
Rugged asks Wiggins where is the research? Rugged leaf thru Barbados newspapers for last ten years and you will find crime by Guyanse almost every day. The daily Nation whose editor is Guyanese is a good place to start. Jagdaoe mealy mouth statement on treatment of Mormons is pure rhetoric. He likes the r word. Like the rest of the world the Mormons believe Guyana is on life support and needs saving. Guyana is a welcoming country, it embraces illegal immigrants, why not let the Utah posse in?
