Woman accused of killing boyfriend charged for manslaughter

…granted $600,000 bail

Police in Linden, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice), have charged 28-year-old Oyanna Stewart with manslaughter in connection with the death of her boyfriend.
Stewart, an unemployed resident of Block 22, Wismar, was arrested on November 10, 2025, following the fatal stabbing of 30-year-old Kevin Alexander. She was charged with manslaughter, contrary to Section 94 of the Criminal Law Offences Act, Chapter 8:01, alleging that she unlawfully killed Alexander.

On Friday, Stewart appeared before Magistrate Rushelle Liverpool at the Linden Magistrate’s Court. The charge was read to her, and she was not required to enter a plea since the matter is indictable. Bail was granted in the sum of $600,000. The case has been adjourned to December 18. Police reported that Alexander, a carpenter of Block 22, was fatally stabbed at the couple’s residence around 21:45h on Monday. Preliminary investigations suggest that he and Stewart were involved in an argument during which she allegedly stabbed him once in the left side of his abdomen. Relatives and nearby residents assisted in rushing Alexander to the Linden Hospital Complex, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. His body has since been taken to the Gjetsco Funeral Parlour pending a post-mortem examination.
