Victor Ince, 24, of Lightfoot West appeared before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel today in connection with the death of 19-year-old Guyanese national Joyleen Abraham and was remanded to prison.

Ince faces charges related to Abraham’s death on May 7, 2025, at Judges Estate. The charges include unlawful confinement and killing Abraham.

The incident occurred sometime shortly after 5pm when Abraham was somehow ejected from a moving vehicle being driven by Ince along a by-road leading from New Winthorpes to the Jabberwock main road. Police who responded to the scene found Abraham’s body on the south side of the road with multiple injuries. She was pronounced dead by a medical doctor at approximately 6:30pm.

Reports indicate that Abraham had arrived in Antigua only days before losing her life.

Ince’s next court appearance is scheduled for September 17.

    So she left her country to come and see you and you decide to kill her? This boy should rot in jail! For the crime and for the lie

    We need to call for justice for this child. In that I mean we have to march the streets for those who have been murdered without their killers ever being found. As a mother, it is crucial that those responsible for her unlawful confinement and murder are held accountable. We must come together to support her family during this difficult time and advocate for a thorough and transparent investigation. Justice for Joyleen is not just about legal consequences; it’s about honoring her memory and ensuring that such a tragedy never happens again. Let’s raise our voices and demand justice for Joyleen Abraham.
