A February committal hearing has been scheduled for the 24-year-old man accused in the May death of a visiting Guyanese law student.
Victor Ince of Lightfoot West returned to court this week where Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel set February 11, 2026, as the new date for his committal proceedings.
Authorities have charged Ince with two offences: forcibly seizing and confining 19-year-old Joyleen Abraham, and unlawfully causing her death.
The incident occurred on May 7, 2025, at Judges Estate. Abraham, a University of Guyana law student who had travelled to Antigua to visit a personal friend, was discovered unresponsive along a by-road linking New Winthorpes Village to the Jabberwock main road.
Police reports indicate Abraham allegedly jumped from a moving vehicle being operated by Ince. Emergency responders arrived at the scene where a doctor declared her dead.
Investigators seized the vehicle for forensic analysis as part of their probe into the circumstances surrounding Abraham’s death. Ince was subsequently taken into custody and questioned about the incident.
The case now moves forward with the rescheduled committal hearing next February.
This whole case is disturbing. That girl came here to visit and never made it back home. The family must still be under sadness!
Justice fot you babe
Sad and infuriating. That could have been anyone’s daughter or sister. We can’t keep normalizing these tragedies.
They need to have night court here to speed up some of those matters in the syatem
Glad to see the case moving forward. February can’t come soon enough
That poor girl had such a promising future ahead. Law student… what a loss.
Hope the authorities handle this one carefully. Everyone watching.
Every postponement just adds to the pain for the victim’s loved ones.
Whatever really happened that night needs to come out in court. Too many unanswered questions
We need to do more to protect visitors and students who come here. This shouldn’t happen to anyone
So sad. She came here to visit a friend, not knowing it would be her last trip
