– to undergo psychiatric evaluation
John Blanchard, the father accused of killing his three children, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court again yesterday, charged with the murder of his third child, Joy Blanchard, who was brutally hacked to death along with two other siblings.
Joy Blanchard had passed away some five days following the gruesome incident that lead to her demise, causing the father to make another court appearance, having already heard murder charges read to him for the two other children.
Blanchard appeared calm and even distant as he stood before Acting Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry as the third indictable charge was read to him. He was not required to plead.
Blanchard was represented by Defense Counsel Peter Hugh who made an application for a psychiatric assessment to be done on his client to decide whether or not he was mentally capable to stand trial. This request was subsequently granted by the court.
Blanchard is before the court for the murder of his three children. It is alleged that the man on October 11 at his family’s Dr. Charles Sand Road, Soesdyke home, fatally wounded his 10-year old daughter Belika and her four-year-old brother Daniel, while six-year-old Joy later succumbed to her injuries.
