FOUR years after 24-year-old Shenece Lawrence was fatally stabbed during a domestic altercation, her reputed husband has confessed to the capital offence of murder.

Jermaine Bristol, 37, formerly of Freeman Street, East La Penitence was arraigned before Sandil Kissoon at the Demerara High Court, on September 30.

He admitted that he murdered the woman on August 22, 2018, in the county of Demerara.

The matter has been adjourned until October 27, 2022, for the presentation of a probation report and sentencing. The State was represented by prosecutor Muntaz Ali.

According to reports, the couple shared a relationship over seven years and lived together at Freeman Street.

On August 22, 2018, the couple had an argument during which Bristol armed himself with a knife and stabbed Lawrence five times to the neck, leaving the weapon stuck inside.

He then immediately went to the Brickdam Police Station and reported the matter. Reports are that he gave a confession statement admitting to the crime.
