Carolan Lynch misses court again
Once again former beauty queen Carolan Lynch has failed to make a court appearance, before Magistrate Priya Beharry, at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Police Prosecutor Lionel Harvey yesterday begged the court’s indulgence for the matter to be adjourned until today.
Lynch’s attorney Nigel Hughes was not present either when the matter was called. Meanwhile Kaieteur News was told that the reason why the police are having problems finding Lynch was because she was not properly notified. On the last three occasions Lynch failed to appear in court forcing the matter to be adjourned.
Lynch’s lawyer Nigel Hughes had told this publication that he does not know where his client is. The attorney said that he has been in contact with the woman’s relatives.

On the last occasion the charge of murder was not read since Lynch was absent, however, an officer swore to the information before the magistrate.
Police sources have stated that they have managed to acquire two new pieces of evidence against Lynch, forcing them to reinstitute charges against the woman.
Lynch’s lawyer had admitted to the press that he was aware that the state had refiled a murder charge against his client.
Lynch was charged back in May 2007, with the murder of her husband Farouk Razac, the former owner of Swiss House Cambio.
Razac was found dead on the floor of their Eping Avenue, Bel Air home. There was evidence that he had bled through his nose and mouth and his hands were at his neck. An autopsy performed later confirmed that Razac had been strangled.
Lynch was discharged in 2008, after then magistrate Gordon Gilhuys found that a prima facia case was not established.
Some had said that Razac was killed because of a US$1M life insurance policy; however his wife has denied that he ever had the policy
