A very popular Actress aged 79, has been discovered deceased at her residence, reportedly with her hands tied in the bedroom, in what appears to be a suspected robbery.
The British actress Viscella Richards was discovered deceased at her residence in the Caribbean.
The celebrity, known by the stage name Vikki Richards, was located with her hands bound in her North Valsyn bedroom, north of Trinidad, on Wednesday, March 6.
Law enforcement authorities suggest that the 79-year-old television personality may have been murdered during a robbery, as her property was reportedly ransacked.
Authorities note the absence of additional signs of violence on her body.
Vikki Richards gained recognition primarily for her supporting role in the 1973 British film "Black Snake," filmed in Barbados. Her career spanned from the stage to notable TV appearances, including roles in "The Onedin Line," "Return of the Saint," and "Howard’s Way."
The discovery of her body on the bedroom floor of her residence near Port of Spain this week has prompted a local police investigation, initiated after being found by a caregiver.
A friend, concerned about being unable to reach Richards since Tuesday evening, discovered her lifeless body at her residence. Upon arriving at the closed front gate, the friend called out multiple times, finding the front door ajar. While searching for Richards inside the house, the friend made the unfortunate discovery. Barrister Sir Timothy Cassel KC, the friend, noted that the gate and door were open, suggesting that someone may have been allowed in by Richards.
The circumstances surrounding Richards' passing are shrouded in uncertainty, with friends speculating on the possibility of her vulnerability being exploited. The theft of the security camera hard drive adds an element of suspicion to the situation.
Friends, still in shock, struggled to reconcile the tragic news with their memories of Richards, describing her as a beautiful, warm, and engaging person. A concerned neighbor expressed a desire for her to have company, given her solitary living situation, recognizing the potential vulnerability.
A family member revealed that Richards returned to Trinidad in January after spending time in England and Europe, highlighting her love for travel and shopping. While details of her demise were not disclosed, the family member mentioned the absence of certain jewelry items from her house. Richards, who held dual Trinidadian and British citizenship, moved back to Trinidad after retiring from her career in TV and stage.
