77-Year-Old Latvian national Dies After Violent Home Invasion in All Saints

A 77-year-old woman has died days after she was brutally attacked and robbed inside her All Saints home, in an incident that has left her family shaken and raised fresh concerns about violent crime in the community.

Latvian national Mariete Andersone died on Sunday, January 18, 2026, shortly after 4:00 p.m. while receiving medical care, following what relatives described as a traumatic and violent home invasion nearly a week earlier.

According to family members, the attack occurred in the early morning hours of Monday, January 12. Andersone reportedly called her relatives that morning, saying she had been asleep when two young men entered her bedroom. The intruders were armed, and during the incident she was assaulted before the men fled with gold jewellery valued at approximately US$100,000.

When her family rushed to the residence, they found Andersone lying in bed in a distressed and injured state. She was bleeding, visibly shaken, and appeared confused. Her head and face showed clear signs of trauma.

Relatives said they attempted to contact the police multiple times but did not receive an immediate response. By around 6:30 a.m., her condition had worsened significantly, her breathing had become laboured and she could not be awakened.

An ambulance was called, and emergency medical personnel transported her to hospital, where she was unresponsive on arrival. Doctors later determined that she had suffered severe head injuries. She underwent emergency surgery and was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit in critical condition.

Despite intensive medical treatment and constant monitoring, Andersone’s condition did not improve. She remained in critical care until her death six days later.

Police have not yet released a detailed public statement regarding the investigation or whether any suspects have been identified or apprehended.

The incident has prompted concern among residents in All Saints and renewed calls for stronger action to address violent crime and home invasions across the island.

Authorities are continuing their investigations.
