Twenty-three-year-old Lisa Hayley, who is accused of killing her allegedly abusive husband in 2017, was on Wednesday committed to stand trial at the High Court by Senior Magistrate Leron Daly.
This ruling came after a prima facie case was made out against Hayley. This means that she will have to face a judge and jury to know her fate when the matter is called in the High Court.
The mother of two made her first court appearance on August 3, 2017 when she faced a charge stating that she unlawfully killed Dailson Hayley on July 29, 2017 at Lot 30 Queen Street, Kitty, Georgetown.
Hayley was released on G$250,000 bail.
According to reports, the now dead man was very abusive towards Hayley during their relationship. Reports from 2017 stated that when the woman attempted to exit the relationship, the deceased, who did not handle it well, subsequently turned up at the home armed with two knives.
An altercation then ensued during which Hayley managed to disarm the victim and reportedly inflicted one fatal stab wound to his chest. He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
