Indignation in Canada for the violent assault of a tourist of his country in a tourist port of Nayarit

Marianne Clift, a 68-year-old Canadian, was badaulted in a rental unit in Bucerías community, Nayarit.. The thieves, apparently a man and a woman, violated the security of the property, subjected her and beat her until she became unconscious.

The business transcended because the Canadian press has denounced the fact and highlighted the conditions of insecurity that prevail in Mexico.

Originally from Sarnia, a town in southwestern Ontario, Canada, Clift went to Bucerías with her husband to rest for a while in a rented house in this tourist area. which is located halfway between Puerto Vallarta and the Nayarit Riviera.

It was not his first trip, Clift and her husband – like many Canadians – spend long periods on these beaches in the Mexican Pacificand still has a parent who already lives in Mexico, according to a newspaper of his country.

"I was very excited, it was a beautiful house," Cift said., who traveled from Canada to Puerto Vallarta on February 4th.

In the evening of the 18th, Marianne was left alone in this house, her husband had to return to Canada for work reasons. At night, after falling asleep, a man and a woman violated the security of the 3-meter fence surrounding the property. and they came in to steal.

"I thought I was in a nightmare, but there was a man hanging on my neck and I just could not scream"said Clift about what happened.

At one point, the man withdrew his hand from his neck and the woman started asking for help. The badailant hit her so hard that she knocked him out and caused serious bruising and bleeding in the orbit of his eyes, cheeks and neck. ..

On waking, the attackers had already left. They took their cell phone, money, cards, house keys, their pbadport and other valuables. As he could, Clift went out to the street to ask for help and walked to the family home where emergency services arrived to take care of his injuries. They had to sew a knife on his cheek with 6 stitches.

Marianne Clift denounced the attack on local authorities in Nayarit and resorted to the consulate of her country to replace her pbadport and be able to return to Sarnia, where his family was waiting for him.

"I do not expect that they find the attackers, I am nobody, I am only a tourist. But I feel lucky to stay alive"he told the Canadian press, which has published this story with a major impact in Puerto Vallarta and the Nayarit Riviera, home to a large community of Canadians and retired Americans.

This region is one of the few in Mexico not to be on the list of travel alerts issued by the US government for the benefit of its citizens.. However, Nayarit has been one of the states where insecurity has increased the most in the last two years.
