A female hawksbill which was preparing to nest on Holetown Beach, St James, was yesterday bludgeoned to death by a rock to the head.
John Walcott, who was walking the beach around 5:30 in the morning, said his initial thoughts were that the turtle had flipped. However, on closer examination he realized it was not breathing.
Here, Tiffany Sonn of the Barbados Sea Turtle Project and Walcott turning over the turtle.
