Linden carpenter charged with killing reputed wife

Lawrence Carter

A carpenter, who is alleged to have fatally stabbed his reputed wife, before attempting to take his own life, was on Thursday remanded to prison charged with murder.
It is alleged that on January 18, last, at Phase One B Wisroc Squatting Area, Linden, Lawrence Carter killed 34-year-old Leolyn Sullivan. He was not required to plead to the charge, after it was read to him by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan when he appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
The accused, who was clad in a jersey and denim jeans, had a bandage across his throat area. He had no legal representation.
According to reports, Sullivan was stabbed to death early Monday morning allegedly by her 57-year-old reputed husband, during a heated argument over some pictures that were in her cell phone. It was reported that the woman had left home for Georgetown since last Friday to transact business and did not make contact with Carter throughout the weekend.
The now dead woman is reported to have made an unsuccessful bid to escape by jumping through a louvre window, shattering several panes in the process. She died before receiving medical attention. Sullivan’s daughters were also injured during the altercation.
After the incident, the accused is said to have slashed his throat in an attempt to take his own life. He was admitted to the hospital and subsequently charged.
This matter was transferred to the Linden Magistrate’s Court for February 2.
