[00:00.00]One Saturday evening a gang

[00:03.82]of kids piled into a taxi,

[00:06.01]heading off for

[00:07.43]a barbecue on the beach.

[00:09.18]Some of the girls decided 1

[00:11.47]to walk along the beach.

[00:13.00]Megan joined them, lagging slightly behind.

[00:17.05]She knew she ought to

[00:19.90]hurry to catch up

[00:21.10]but the moist sand

[00:22.52]felt good under her feet.

[00:24.49]Water lapped at her toes;

[00:26.46]the tide was coming in.

[00:28.54]The violet light of dusk

[00:30.84]began to darken the sky.

[00:33.35]In the growing darkness

[00:36.30]a van pulled alongside her,

[00:38.83]stopping with a squeal 2 of brakes.

[00:41.12]Before she knew what was happening

[00:45.17]two masked men leapt out

[00:47.35]of the car and

[00:48.89]began to chase her,

[00:50.31]grabbing her and finally

[00:52.06]throwing her to the ground.

[00:53.92]The gross attack that followed

[00:56.76]was brutal 3 and unexplainable.

[00:59.72]Initially Megan tried to

[01:02.12]fight off her attackers

[01:03.66]by clawing at their

[01:05.19]faces with her nails.

[01:07.16]Using a coil of rope

[01:09.57]to bind 4 her hands,

[01:11.21]the men were free to proceed.

[01:13.17]First a fist broke her

[01:16.24]upper jaw 5 leaving her unconscious.

[01:18.65]Then the hoodlums used

[01:20.89]a metal rod to crush

[01:22.97]Megan’s skull 6 and finally

[01:25.27]a knife blade penetrated 7

[01:27.46]her neck piercing an artery 8.

[01:29.75]After the crude act

[01:32.92]was completed her body was

[01:35.23]bundled into the back

[01:36.75]of a cab and discarded

[01:38.73]in a ditch in an isolated 9 district

[01:40.69]far from the beach.

[01:43.43]Realizing that Megan had disappeared,

[01:46.72]her friends dialed an emergency number,

[01:50.43]notifying the authorities of the situation.

[01:53.17]Once Megan’s body was discovered,

[01:56.67]a warrant was issued

[01:58.42]for the immediate 10 arrest

[02:00.17]of the two wanted men.

[02:02.46]Megan’s parents were

[02:04.32]notified by the embassy.

[02:06.95]They in turn retained legal counsel

[02:10.13]and an intense inquiry 

[02:12.42]began into the case.

[02:15.05]Those officials with an intimate knowledge

[02:18.77]of the island felt that

[02:20.52]the mugging was a case

[02:21.72]of mistaken identification and

[02:23.69]a complete misunderstanding, a misguided outlet 11

[02:28.18]for mounting frustrations on the island
