A Guyanese woman is now clinging to life in a hospital in Tortola, British Virgin Islands (BVI), following an attack by gunmen that claimed the life of two people, including her 11-year-old daughter.

Romona Moses is a critical patient at the Peebles Hospital, where she was admitted after the attack in which the vehicle she was travelling in came under fire from two gunmen on Wednesday night.

The mother and daughter were both passengers in the vehicle, which was being driven by islander Franklyn Penn, who was also killed in the shooting.
