A Sophia man, who allegedly strangled his wife, was on Friday committed to stand trial in the High Court. The ruling was made by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
The Chief Magistrate, after presiding over the Preliminary Inquiry (PI) ruled that a prima facie case was made out against Paul Anthony Lo Hing, who is accused of strangling 23-year-old ‘E’ Field Sophia resident, Shoala Gilgeous.
Paul Anthony Lo Hing, who reportedly had a one year-old relationship with Gilgeous, of ‘E’ Field Sophia, is said to have murdered the woman.
According to reports, the body of the 23-year-old woman was found in her apartment after the family went to check on her. It is alleged that the accused called one of the dead woman’s sisters and asked that she go check on the woman.
A police statement disclosed that Gilgeous was frothing from the mouth when she was found. A post mortem examination later revealed that the 23-year-old victim was manually strangled.
Further reports stated that Gilgeous and the suspect, known only as ‘Paul’, had a turbulent one-year relationship. A female neighbour had said that on the day in question she heard the deceased and the accused arguing.
She said she had gone out and heard nothing further upon her return and that she presumed that the argument had ended.
