Dead: Winston Robertson

Robertson was shot by Mitchell at a friend’s house after he reportedly saw his wife engaged in a conversation with him.
Police had disclosed that the suspect and his wife had an intense argument Sunday night about her alleged romantic involvement with someone else. That argument, it was revealed, turned physical and the woman left the home, which she shared with Mitchell and sought refuge at her friend’s house.
Robertson was at the friend’s house when Mitchell got word that his wife was there. According to reports, Mitchell ventured over to the premises Monday night and there he shot Robertson after he saw him “talking with the woman”. The suspect, reports suggest, then proceeded to beat his wife with the gun, which he used to shoot Robertson. The woman, it was revealed, sustained lacerations about her body and head, is currently hospitalized at the Fort Wellington Hospital.
Robertson died Tuesday morning at the New Amsterdam Public Hospital.
