Linden teacher stabbed over 30 times – PME report reveals

The post mortem examination on the body of Kelly Charlotte, who was killed by the father of her child, has revealed that the man stabbed her more than 30 times.
On Sunday evening, Charlotte was brutally stabbed by her former partner, Leston Baynes, who has since died by suicide.
Police in a statement said the PME was conducted at about 08:32h on Wednesday by Government Pathologist Dr Nehaul Singh at the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home and Crematorium in Georgetown.
At the conclusion thereof, Dr Singh gave the cause of death as “multiple incise wounds (30 stab wounds).” The body was later handed over to relatives for burial.
Meanwhile, at about 10:03h on Wednesday, a PME was performed on the body of Leston Baynes. The cause of his death has been given as “asphyxiation due to hanging.” His body has also been handed over to relatives for burial.

One day after killing Charlotte, the body of 28-year-old Baynes was found in an abandoned house at Blueberry Hill, Wismar, Linden. The couple had recently separated, and the woman had sought refuge from the man at her sister’s residence at One Mile Wismar, Linden, where the stabbing occurred.
Guyana Times understands that the couple had a recent physical altercation, prompting the woman to get the Police involved. Afterward, she and her child moved to her sister’s residence. While there, the suspect showed up under the pretext of wanting to spend some time with his child. However, as he was returning the child to Charlotte, the man whipped out a knife and stabbed the woman brutally about her body before making good his escape.
