quarrel with ex-man
Fabian Ledgister, Freelance Reporter
The thin line between love and hate may explain why the throat of a 25-year-old woman was slashed yesterday in Mandeville, Manchester.
Dead is Annmarie Simpson, a bartender from Old England district in the parish, while her ex-fiancé, Radcliffe Levy, 34, miraculously survived a sound mob beating.
He was saved by the long arm of the law and later charged with murder.
The high drama unfolded about 9:30 a.m. yesterday, when Levy followed Simpson to her workplace where an argument developed.
Two men who rushed to investigate after hearing blood-curdling screams coming from a locked bathroom at the bar, kicked down the door and saw Simpson being stabbed repeatedly.
"My cousin went and looked at her down by Lyn's (funeral home) and say her throat slashed, face carved out, and the whole of her belly near her vagina stab up," said a resident of the district.
Police say both would-be rescuers were chased by the enraged knife wielding man, but their calls for help were answered by residents who rained blows upon the man and tied him up.
If it was not for the swift action of the Mandeville police, there may have been no one left to be charged, as the police had to wrestle the accused from the mob. A policewoman was injured with a stone during the rescue.
Investigations by THE STAR revealed that Simpson had been threatened after recently breaking off her engagement with Levy.
It is alleged that the deceased mother of two recently began dating another man, and had spent her last night with her new boyfriend, before being dropped off in her community yesterday morning. She then got ready and left for work not knowing she was being followed.
Manchester's top cop for the division, Superintendent Ryland Salmon, is adamant that the tragedy could have been avoided, and is imploring family members to be more proactive in such domestic matters.
"He (accused) is now saying he wish the mob had killed him, so there are some deep-seeded emotional problems here. Relatives of people having domestic problems need to seek intervention for them, whether it is through their church, or the police through our chaplaincy unit. This programme is counselling for police officers, but we will extend the service to citizens in need," said Salmon.
