death on the evening of May 19, before ingesting poison and being hospitalised, has since been released from the medical institution and charged with murder.
Sandy, a carpenter of Mai, Mai Dam, Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam, is accused of brutally stabbing the woman, Oneka Greaves, after she allegedly spurned him. He appeared yesterday before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court and was not required to enter a plea to the indictable offence.
The case for the prosecution as presented by Sergeant Godfrey Playter, was that on the day in question at Caracas, West Canje Berbice, Sandy murdered the woman who had a four-month child for him, following a dispute.
The man, who has four grown children – ages 25, 23, 21 and 18 – was reportedly upset that the young lady had told him that they should end the relationship as she wanted to move on with her life and he should do likewise.
She had endured what was said to be an abusive relationship. He was also peeved when he learnt that she was possibly seeing someone else.
The man gave a statement that he and Oneka Greaves were together since she was 14 years.
A post mortem examination conducted by Dr. Vivekanand Brijmohan at the New Amsterdam hospital showed that Greaves died from shock and haemorrhage due to multiple incise wounds and damage to vital organs including her kidney. She also sustained incise wounds to the spine, pancreas, and diaphragm.
Robert Sandy will have to return to court on June 26.
