Another Guyanese man is in Barbados jail on a domestic violence-related charge – this time it is for the murder of an ex-spouse of some seven years.
Jerrick Tudor, 29, of Fairfield, Black Rock, St Michael, was yesterday remanded to prison until December 19 on a charge of stabbing to death his 22-year-old ex-girlfriend, Krystal Lovell, Sunday night at her Highland, St Thomas home.
Just last Monday a Barbados magistrate remanded 33-year-old Guyanese, Gordon Andrew Roberts, to prison on charges of assault, and arson for a fire which destroyed the home of his estranged girlfriend, Shonette Williams.
The case against Tudor made front page news on Barbados’s leading daily newspapers as emotions run high on the island where there is an outcry against domestic violence that has seen five women – including Guyanese Brenda Belle — allegedly murdered at the hands of their spouses for 2013.
In this latest case, it is alleged that Tudor stabbed Lovell to death in the presence of their two-year-old daughter at a house they once shared in a yard aback of her father’s home.
Tudor was taken into custody by the police after he was apprehended by the dead woman’s father, Roosevelt Lovell.
The couple broke up about a month ago after a seven-year relationship. The woman is said to have been complaining of harassment and had planned to seek a protection order against her estranged spouse.
Guyanese-born Tudor is said to have moved out of the small wooden house that they shared in her family’s backyard. It was the second time in less than three years that Krystal’s father lost a daughter to violence. His eldest child, Nikita Belgrave, was one of the five women killed in the Campus Trendz fire on Tudor Street.
