Carol Ann Lynch
Former beauty queen Carol Ann Lynch appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry on Wednesday, charged for the second time for the murder of her husband – Farouk Razack.
Lynch stood silently in the courtroom as Chief Magistrate Sewnarine-Beharry read the indictable charge to her. It stated that on May 7, 2007 at 106 Ireng Place, Bel Air Park, Georgetown, she murdered Razack.
Lynch was represented by Attorney Latchmi Rahamat who told the court that in 2007, her client was charged for the same offence and the matter was later discharged by the then City Magistrate Gordon Gilhuys who said there was not sufficient evidence for a prima facie case to be made out against her.
The attorney then added that no new evidence has been found and the charge is still being laid against Lynch for a second time. Rahamat then requested that the matter remain before the chief magistrate to expedite the trial. Lynch was remanded to prison and is expected to make another court appearance on February 5.
Lynch’s arraignment comes one day after she turned herself over into the hands of the police. She was reportedly on the run for a number of years.
Razack’s body was found in his Ireng Place, Bel Air Park home about 08:30h on May 7, 2007 with a wound to his head and marks around his neck. At that time Lynch had just returned home after taking their daughter to school.
