Woman freed of husband’s 2018 killing
Melisha Cylus
Kaieteur News – Thirty-six-year-old Melisha Cylus who was charged for manslaughter over the death of her reputed husband Julian Anthony Reberio some seven years ago, was on Wednesday set free of the charge following a not-guilty verdict by the jury.
Cylus was accused of killing Reberio in the home they shared in Soesdyke, back in November, 2018. She had told police that her husband had returned home intoxicated and fell and hit his head. In another statement, she reportedly told investigators that she tried waking him up from the bed but he was unresponsive.
An autopsy conducted by government pathologist, Dr. Nehaul Singh, indicated that Reberio died of asphyxiation caused by compression injuries to the neck, in other words death by strangulation.
During Wednesday’s trial before Justice Sherdel Marcus-Isaacs, Cylus’ lawyers Yuborn Allicock and Travis Ferreira made a no case submission, noting that the prosecution could not provide evidence to tie the accused to the crime.
Justice Issacs then directed the jury to return the not-guilty judgement.
