JUSTICE Barrington Reynolds, the presiding judge in the triangular love affair murder involving accused Roxanne Daniels who is on trial for the unlawful killing of her lover’s wife, Ayanna Hamilton, will sum–up the evidence to the jury on Monday.

Thereafter, the judge will hand over the case to the 12-member jury who will retire to consider their verdict in relation to the 23-year-old accused Roxanne Daniels, also known as ‘Cleo’ and ‘Ashanti’.

The accused, represented by Lawyer, Mr. Peter Hugh, has pleaded not guilty and told the jury from the witness box that she was in bed with her lover, Joseph Hamilton, who was separated from his wife when the wife Ayanna (now deceased) invaded her new home at Vreed-en-Hoop, and violently attacked her on the night of January 6, 2008.

The accused was wounded in the affray and retaliated with a knife, killing the wife in the process.

The accused told the court under cross-examination that she did not know what happened to the knife, but admitted that the exhibit in the court was the knife that she had used that night to scare away the deceased who “had attacked and wounded me”.

Defence Counsel Mr. Peter Hugh, urged the jury to find that the accused who was subjected to provocation was defending herself that night when she was attacked by the deceased.

Prosecutor Miss Zamilla Alli had told the jury that the evidence would reveal that when the accused Roxanne Daniels, inflicted the injuries, she intended to kill Ayanna Hamilton or cause her grievous bodily harm; and the act of inflicting the injuries was not done in self defence, nor was it an accident, nor was there any provocation.

The prosecutor also told the jury that it was important to cast aside any notion they might have of what provocation was at that point, because the legal definition of provocation differs from the everyday definition of it.
