The tragic murder of an American woman on a shore excursion at Pigeon Point Beach Jan. 19 was the fourth major incident in the last two years involving tourists visiting the island. In 2008 a honeymooning British couple was murdered in their hotel room; in 2009 an Australian yachtsman was killed when walking with his girlfriend and daughter; last September six Carnival Cruise passengers brawled with police and were arrested. In the recent incident, the victim allegedly left an afternoon beach barbecue and walked off alone on a secluded path where she was killed. All of these incidents are a reminder that safety cannot be assumed, and precautions should always be taken, especially if in unfamiliar territory.
