Pulled from Trinidad Guardian:

For two days Shanti Ramsamooj searched the banks of the Oropouche River hoping that her niece, Debbie Ramsingh, would be alive.
But shortly before noon yesterday, Ramsamooj’s worst fears were realised when she found Ramsingh’s corpse floating face-up in the river.
Ramsingh, 21, was clad in a black and silver top, and was still wearing all her jewelry.
Police said Ramsingh died after a fight at a recreation club in Debe, south Trinidad.
In an interview yesterday, a tearful Ramsamooj said Ramsingh left her home on Fyzabad Branch Road with her two brothers Narindra, 23, Randy, 16, sister Sandy and friend Sudesh Heeralal, and went to lime at the recreation club.
A witness said a man tried to dance with Sandy, but the brothers intervened.
A fight reportedly broke out in the club. The bouncers at the club ordered the group out of the bar because they were intoxicated.
Ramsingh’s brother Rajindra Chandersingh said a group of men and a woman began beating his siblings.
He said: “They tried to drown my brother in the river. They also hit my sister with a bottle on her head.”
Witnesses said Ramsingh and her family started to run to escape the blows.
“But they followed them and beat them. They were running all on the road and the people were pelting them with bottles. When we didn’t find Debbie, we called the police for help,” Rajindra said.
Police said it was uncertain whether Ramsingh was struck on the head with a bottle and she fell into the river, or whether she was deliberately pushed into the water.
Rajindra said following the beating, Ramsingh was discovered missing.
Throughout Sunday, the family searched the riverbank for her, hoping that she was alive.
Wiping away tears, aunt Ramsamooj said: “She was a nice child. She worked at MS Food City in Debe in the meat section. She used to drink a little but she was a good person.”
She said around lunchtime yesterday, they saw the body floating.
Senior homicide officers arrived on the scene and cordoned off the area.
Sources said suspects had been identified and people at the club were being questioned.
Ramsingh’s body was viewed by District Medical Officer Dr Ockwee, who ordered it removed to the Forensic Science Centre.

Investigators were last night mulling over whether Debbie Ramsingh drowned or was murdered.
Her body was found floating in the Oropouche River around 10 a.m. yesterday, not far from the nightclub where she, her boyfriend and members of her family were involved in a fracas with a group of men.
They were at the Big Apple Night Club in Debe when the incident occurred around 3 a.m on Monday. In a bid to escape the men, Ramsingh and her two brothers ran into a car park. But before they could get into a car, the men followed and chased them along the river bank, police said. They said they also had a report that an attempt was made to drown one of the brothers in the river.
The brothers escaped, but Ramsingh, 21, of Sudama Village, Fyzabad, disappeared.
Early yesterday, another search party was formed and her body was eventually found by her brother, Rajindra Chandersingh, and her aunt, Shamty Rasamooj.
She was found in the same clothes she wore to the club-long, black jeans and a black, thin-strap top. Her shoes were not found.
There were some problems pulling the body out of the river as a strong current kept pushing it downstream.
Fisherman Rakesh Gayah, who lives in the village, said, "Usually this river is filled with some big caimans, so they lucky to find her here and in one piece."
Ramsingh was the mother of a two-year-old daughter, Debra. Relatives were up to late yesterday trying to explain to her what happened to her mother.
Ramsingh's mother, Phoolanti Ramsingh, was too distraught to talk about her daughter, whose body was taken to the San Fernando General Hospital.
Officers from the Barrackpore Police Station are continuing investigations.
Kind gives weight to why I don't go clubbing anymore (2+ years since i went Zen) and why i would not go unless i bringing my own woman to wine on and it is an 'expensive party' to keep out the kind people that could do this atrocity normal so.
RIP Debbie.
a well known local forum gone ballistic over this

That's real BS to say the least when I read that, further reason as to why, if I do decide to lime in a club, it's certainly NOT in south...ESPECIALLY BIG APPLE!!! That place does just be begging for fight from what I've heard from my family....

Dear God ppl is time for trinis to take a stand against this monsters, the solution is not hide home or lime expensive... most big time crooks lime in zen papi and watch their movies in movie towne... everytime i hear something like this i feel like forming a death squad to kill this criminals shop their heads off and put them on a stick for everyone to see !!!!
Before anyone jump on me and say but thats barbaric!!! the right thing is calling the police!!! if u do that u´re not better than them.... I thought the same thing too... but then my uncle was killed for a cellphone, I´m not talking about an uncle i barelly see this is the twin of my dad, the guy that raised me and understood me when no one else did, is very easy to be impartial untill it gets very close to you... only then u´ll know how u trully feel about this issue.
Sorry for the rant but it´s insane the amount of BS that goes on in this country.

Thread title is a little misleading though. Based on the stories, it was a stranger to the family who 'braced'
one of the married females for a dance, not the other way around.
