Bail was refused for captured fugitive, Shawn Maltus Fordyce, who was yesterday slapped with four counts of attempted murder. He is accused of trying to kill his wife, Dorothy Blackman-Fordyce, his daughter Dolette Fordyce and his two step daughters, Attorney-at-Law Wanda Fortune and Latoya Wilson.
The accused, an ex-policeman, was on the run for over two years. He was captured last Tuesday, in a house at ‘B’ Field Sophia. Fordyce was at the time living in the home with the wife for whom he has been charged.
Fordyce, a 42-year-old newspaper vendor was not required to enter a plea to the indictable charges, after they were read to him by Magistrate Sueana Lovell in the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court.
It is alleged that on August 1, 2013, Fordyce attempted to murder the four persons.
He had no legal representation and was remanded to prison.
The victims and several of their family members flocked the courtroom to get a view of the accused. Fortune took the opportunity to express how happy she was at her stepdad being captured and brought before the court.
According to reports, on the night of August 1, 2013, Fordyce went berserk and hacked away at his wife, after disapproving of her going out with a relative. It was reported that the accused went into the home, retrieved a cutlass and began firing chops at the woman. He then turned the weapon on his daughter and two step daughters.
The victims sustained multiple wounds about their bodies and had to be hospitalized.
