Although efforts to contact Branche’s family proved futile, relatives had reported that they last saw Branche on Saturday evening when she left for a night out with her friends. The relatives reported that they were shocked after receiving a phone call on Sunday morning informing that Branche was in the hospital. The mother of one, who resides in Cummings Lodge, Greater Georgetown, was reportedly found lying unconscious around 05:45h on Sunday after which she was rushed to the medical facility.

INews understands that Branche suffered a broken left leg and multiple head injuries. However, it is yet unclear as to how she received those injuries. Police have since launched an investigation to find out what really happened the night Branche left her home in Cummings Lodge.
Any person with relevant information is asked to contact the Branche family on 592-677-8733.

When will the streets be safe? A young and promising mother brutally beaten and left to die. Like I said, if you remigrate to Guyana, take with you a body bag.

and what do you bring with you to US with all the mass shootings?

Hard work to make a better life. Why do you think I do not want to live elsewhere? It's very safe where I live.
