Venezuela women charged with attacking fellow countrywoman

By Staff Editor Wed, August 12 2026, 2:06 AM GMT-4

Two Venezuelan women have been charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm following an incident involving a fellow Venezuelan woman in Bartica.

The accused, 20-year-old self-employed woman Beilyn Hernandes and 21-year-old saleswoman Benyerlin Hernandes, reside at Third Avenue, Bartica.

The charge stems from an incident involving 37-year-old businesswoman Yillen Romero, who was separately charged with unlawful wounding in connection with the incident.

The two women were arrested on Sunday, August 9, 2026, and subsequently charged on Tuesday, August 11, 2026.

They appeared the same day before Magistrate Caressa Henry at the Bartica Magistrate’s Court, where the charge was read to them.

Both women pleaded not guilty and were each granted bail in the sum of $75,000.

The matter was adjourned to September 8, 2026, for continuation.
