SHELLY Persaud died tragically, reportedly at the hands of her reputed husband, leaving three young girl-children behind to fend for themselves.
But the irony is that her husband is reportedly in police custody, and will be released after 72 hours. Latest report received is that he admitted that he was the perpetrator.
Now most citizens are wondering if the police will let him go after 72 hours in custody to gather more evidence.
Then, once the evidence is stacked against him, he will plead to lesser count of manslaughter, receive his four-year sentence and be out, perhaps to kill another woman.
I am not a praying person, but I do pray that our Lady DPP don’t make a deal with this killer.
This is the time to set the agenda for would-be women killers: That once you murder and you are found guilty, you will never see the light of day amongst civil society as long as you shall live. You will spend the rest of your natural life behind bars.
The law must see fit to take his freedom and liberty away from him for life, since he took her life away; and took a mother away from her three young daughters. Hopefully, he didn’t destroy the future of these three young girl children, and they will one day recover from this grievous loss.
Simply put, this lady had all the reason in the world to live; and lawmakers must see what others are seeing through the photograph of her children.
Those of you who want to see justice done must use your resources in the event this killer hires a high-priced lawyer who will run rings around incompetent prosecutors. Get the best to represent this family in order for real justice to prevail. Please ensure that he spends the rest of his life behind bars.
