Woolford was indicted for killing his wife in 2009. His retrial began on Tuesday following the selection of the jury.
On the last two occasions, the accused faced Justice Navindra Singh and James Bovell-Drakes, but both jury panels were unsuccessful in reaching a common verdict.
According to reports, Woolford is said to have been stabbed several times about her body on February 8, 2009 at her Lot 2041, Hummingbird Street, Festival City, North Ruimveldt home, allegedly during a heated argument.
The hairdresser, and mother of three, is said to have had her stomach sliced open during the ordeal. She succumbed at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) while receiving treatment.
Woolford, a self-employed construction worker at the time, tried to end his life by ingesting what is believed to be a poisonous liquid, a few hours after learning of his wife’s demise.
He was hospitalized but was later released to face the murder charge.
