-48-
I did not eat or drink anything before I went to bed, nor did not smoke either.
I did not close my bedroom door. I went to bed and woke up about 6.00 a.m.
on Wednesday 19.1.77 and washed a pants and a shirt and I hung them on the
outside clothes line. My sister and her boyfriend were still in their bed-
room. When I woke up on Wed. 19.1.77 I got dressed in a blue pullover shirt,
a brown pants, a pair of red sneakers. At about 9.00 am. on 19.1.77 I took
my sisters kitchen knife which is a folding steel knife and I put it in my
RIGHT FRONT pants pocket with the intention to go down to Miss EVELYN shop
to buy a stoutt and then to go up the hill to cut a bush broom.
I took a
piece of white rope from my clothes line in the house to tie the broom. I 10
used my sister's knife to cut the piece of rope from my clothes line.in my
room. I walked down to the shop. I did not meet anyone on my way. I met Miss
EVELYN in the shop at the back room. I took a stoutt from the frigerator in
the pool-room as I normally do and I stayed at the door facing the room that
she was in. I stretthed out my hand and gave her a dollar for the stoutt and 15
I told her to keep the change and that I would return for another drink.
Her stoutt costs 70%. She then asked me if I had brought back her money and
I asked her what money she was talking about. I asked her if she saw me took
her money and she said NO, and I then asked her how she was expecting me to
bring it back. She then said that she did not see me take it but she believed 20
that I took it and that she was going to put obeah on me and then the Policeman.
I then told her that she was determined to do me wrong things when I did not
take up her money. She was then standing in the same room I met her in with
my dollar in her hand and I was standing in the same bar-room that I was in
all the time. She then said that Tomorrow I was going to find out. I had the
rope in my "left TROUSER POCKET" and I took it out and put it around her neck.
I was holding the ends of the rope at the back of her neck. Miss EVELYN said,
"wait, wait, what are you doing I then said, "STOP SCANDALIZING my name",
•
I then pulled/tight. I was standing behind her. She tried to grab me from
behind but I ducked. I pushed her inside the room, then pulled the knife and
I stabbed her in her head. I used my RIGHT Hand to stab her. I had then tied
the rope around her neck at the back. I do not remember which side of her
head I stabbed her. I do not remember how many times I stabbed hæ,
