Joseph Taylor
Taylor, of Prashad Nagar, was charged several months ago for the battering and hammering of his partner, Eureka Garraway. He reportedly took his own life after the woman decided to call it quits and move on with her life.
In April last, after hammering Garraway to an unconscious state, the man went on the run and only turned himself into police when the woman regained consciousness. When he appeared before the courts, the woman refused to give evidence in the matter and moved back in with him.
Sources say despite his promises, the relationship worsened and just a few weeks back he locked her out of the house. She reportedly broke the lock to gain access, and according to relatives, he reported her to the police.
Police allowed the woman to remove her belongings and she left the premises permanently.
Since then, loneliness stepped in and Taylor had been making repeated efforts to make contact with Garraway, but her relatives say that she refused to take his calls.
Yesterday morning, as fate would have it, she decided to answer a call from him and according to one relative, “all he told her was goodbye” and he later passed away after ingesting poison.
