Prison warder, Sheldon Prince, an employee of the Mazaruni Prison is expected to be charged on
Tuesday for the stabbing to death of his wife, of five years, Lonnette Nicholson-Prince, a Cosmetologist attached to the New Amsterdam Psychiatric Hospital.
According to the Commander of ‘B’ Division, Ian Amsterdam, the file was sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions for advice yesterday and an extension was sought for the attacker until Tuesday when he will be placed before the courts.
Meanwhile a Post Mortem conducted yesterday on the body of the Cosmetologist, revealed that the young woman died of shock and hemorrhage due to multiple stab wounds to the heart and other parts of the body.
According to an eyewitness – who was in the room with Lonnette when she came under attack – the woman’s husband walked into the Psychiatric Hospital where the Cosmetologist was employed and then barged into her work room.
He was allegedly seeking a conversation with the woman which she refused; this apparently fuelled the man’s intention to kill his estranged wife. He reportedly whipped out a knife from his waist and plunged it 15 times into the woman’s chest and other parts of her body. The eyewitness related that she screamed and yelled for help but by that time the enraged Prince had already done the deed and escaped.
The police were summoned and a search was launched for the attacker. A pair of blue jeans allegedly belonging to the man was found beneath the Canje Bridge. He later turned himself into authorities with his Attorney Mursaline Bacchus.
Sheldon Prince was described as a “jealous” and “lazy” individual who was always in the wrong company. He had been employed as a prison warder for the last six weeks whilst Lonnette Nicholson-Prince was employed at the Psychiatric Hospital for approximately two years.
They parented a four-year-old who is presently in the care of the dead woman’s parents.
