murder of his wife Shermel Williams-Phillip, whose body was found in her car with multiple wounds to her wrists, neck, face and other parts of her anatomy at her Brown Hill residence on Friday, February 16, 2007.
Phillip appeared before the District ‘C’ Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, February 21 and was remanded to Her Majesty’s Prison.
Sources revealed that Williams-Phillip, who was employed at the Four Seasons Resort as Assistant Manager for Conference Rooms and Services, was scheduled to attend a farewell dinner at the Resort on the night of her death.
~~Adz:Left~~ It is said that when she failed to turn up, a telephone call was made to her next door neighbour, a retired Senior Police Officer, who, on entering her premises, found the young woman in her car with visible wounds to her neck and wrists and appeared to be dead.
Gruesome details given by some residents noted that, upon examination, the wounds to her neck seemed as if whatever instrument used to inflict them was dull and the attacker may have sawed at her throat.
Barbadian Forensic Pathologist Dr. Stephen Jones performed an autopsy on the remains of Shermel Williams-Phillip and reported that death was due to haemorrhage and shock caused by stab wounds to the neck.
