They are the second American couple who have died in the Caribbean country since March.

Dominican Republic police said in April a combination of alcohol, speeding and dark roads may have led to the deaths of a couple from New York who stayed at the Grand Bahia Principe Cayacoa hotel in Samana.

Orlando Moore, 41, and Portia Ravenelle, 52, were believed by authorities to be en route to the airport to return from their vacation at the same brand property when Moore may have lost control and crashed into the Caribbean Sea.

This week Delaware woman Tammy Lawrence-Daley relived her January attack during an interview with CBS This Morning.

New York couple Orlando Moore, 41, and Portia Ravenelle, 52, died while on vacation in the Dominican Republic in March

The 51-year-old had been on vacation with her husband at the Majestic Elegance Resort in Punta Cana when she says that she went out alone to get a snack at 10.30pm.

She claims that the man pushed her from behind and she tried to fight him off, only to lose consciousness as he beat her.

She recalls telling her husband that she would be back in five minutes but Lawrence-Daley said she ended up going missing for eight hours.

The woman claims her attacker dragged her down concrete stairs to an underground waste water area in what she says was an attempt to hide her body and mask the sound of the attack.

Lawrence-Daley said: 'Majestic Elegance claims no responsibility for the attack since I couldn't identify the attacker even though he was wearing a uniform with the resort logo and hit me directly in front of the unlocked maintenance room and dragged me down concrete stairs to a basement so that no one could hear or find me.'

Tammy Lawrence-Daley, 51, said she remembers being 'plowed into from behind' and felt her attacker's arms around her as he pulled her into a nearby unlocked maintenance room
