'WIFEY' STABBED, ABDUCTED - Cop in custody |
![]() |

Sheldon Wright, Star Writer
A policeman is now in custody after it was alleged that he stabbed his common-law wife, threw her in his car and drove off with her. Reports are that the police constable who is said to be attached to the Westmoreland division is now in custody after handing in himself to the Mandeville police in Manchester. The woman was taken to the Mandeville Hospital after the incident. A police source told THE STAR that the cop, who is a young member of the police force, has been involved in a long-standing dispute with his partner. Yesterday, however, the source said their issue reached boiling point and it is alleged that during a dispute at their home in the Amity area of Westmoreland, a knife was used to stab the woman. It is further alleged that with blood gushing from her wound, the woman was dragged into his car and the accused man sped off. It is said that an eye-witness contacted the police and the lawmen attempted to intercept the vehicle in the Bluefields area in the parish. The accused man is said to have, however, eluded his colleagues. Reports are that some hours later, the woman turned up at the Mandeville Hospital and the car was discovered in another area in the parish. The policeman is reported to have turned himself in later at the police station. This event comes after a similar case in which another policeman Corporal Wayne Llewellyn shot and injured his wife and killed four members of her family after their relationship soured. He shot and killed his 16-year-old stepdaughter Jorjhan Flynn; mother-in-law Rachel Brown, 79; father-in-law Voldy Brown, 73, and brother-in- law, Fitzroy Townsend before shooting himself in the head on the patio of the house. That event which took place in April, in St Mary, sent shock waves throughout the parish and country. |
