The Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, through the newly launched Basil Butcher Trust Fund, has come out in support of the community’s oldest resident.

Recently, shockwaves were sent through the country, particularly Rose Hall Town when news broke of the brutal rape and beating of the 98-year-old resident.

According to a release from the club, the Trust Fund was recently launched and is a collaboration between the club and the family of the late West Indies middle-order batsman who passed away in 2019 after a prolonged illness.
