Fifty-five-year-old Allan Sim, a taxi driver, of Lot 860 Paradise Housing Scheme, was yesterday remanded to prison for the murder of Melissa Skeete, a former dispatcher at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Sim, who shared a child with Skeete a/k Lisa, is accused of murdering the woman on November 23, last in Georgetown. He was not required to plead to the indictable charge read to him by Magistrate Fabayo Azore, at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
According to reports, Skeete was stabbed several times about the body. It was reported that the woman was allegedly stabbed while inside her assailant’s motorcar PRR 6841 and then thrown out of the vehicle on Carmichael Street, Georgetown.
Skeete was found some time after the incident bleeding from the wounds and was taken to the GPHC by a taxi driver. The mother of four succumbed while undergoing surgery.
Police Prosecutor, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Stephen Telford, told the court that Sim confessed to the killing. He related that on the day in question, Sim went to the hospital to pick up the woman in his vehicle. Telford stated that about 30 minutes after, Skeete was found lying on the streets bleeding from several stab wounds.
According to Telford, Sim’s car was found a few days ago with the passenger’s seat replaced.
The Prosecutor informed the court that advice was sought from the Director of Public Prosecutions which led to the institution of the murder charge.
Sim, who had no legal representation, will make his next court appearance on January 10.
