TWENTY-FIVE-year-old Alexis Tappin of Lot 3 Campbell Street, Georgetown, a cook attached to Demico Restaurant, was on Tuesday remanded by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan for allegedly stabbing her reputed husband, Sherwin Johnson, with a crowbar on July 2.The court heard that Johnson caught Tappin in bed with another man, and she unlawfully and maliciously wounded Johnson with intent to murder him.

Tappin appeared before the chief magistrate unrepresented by legal counsel, and was not required to plead to the indictable offence of attempted murder.

Police Prosecutor Denior Jones steadfastly opposed bail being granted to Tappin, noting that the victim remains in critical condition in hospital. Bail was denied, and she was remanded to prison until July 28.

Tappin and Johnson reportedly lived together with their child at the Lot 3 Campbell Street, Georgetown address; and on the day in question, Johnson came home and found another man in bed with Tappin. The woman and her lover allegedly then dealt Johnson several lashes about his body, then Tappin reportedly armed herself with a crowbar and stabbed him several times.
