Barbaric: Stacy Wilson
*Editor’s Note: Stacy Wilson was brutally murdered. I’m not sure how things work in the Caribbean but I’m VERY surprised the pics down bottom were released to the public. I’m warning you now…the pics are VERY graphic. I will warn you again before you get down bottom. Out of respect for those with weak stomachs, the pictures have been reduced in size but can be blown up for those that can stand it. What a horrible way to pass!

KINGSTOWN, St Vincent, December 15, 2006 – A 35-year old relative was yesterday charged with the brutal murder of 21 year old Stacy Wilson of Vermont, located about five miles north of the capital on the west coast.
It was a dark day under grey skies and rainy conditions that the handcuffed Shorn Samuel, shielding his face, arrived at the Serious Offences Court in the capital to crowds of angry people some of whom were placard bearing demonstrators. Officers of the Special Services Unit of the Police force kept the crowd under a watchful eye but apart from a few boisterous women who demanded his head the people were peaceful.
Samuel was not allowed to plead as it was an indictable offence. During the brief court appearance he asked the presiding magistrate for bail which was quickly denied.
Protestors from the Purple Ribbon Campaign against violence against girls and women bore placards reading: “Stop the violence against women and girls” were held high in the air even before Samuel was brought handcuffed to Court and they remained there for the 15 to 20 minute duration of the appearance.
Stacy’s mother, Emelia Nanton, said that Shorn who is a distant relative had hounded Stacy for about a year now and kept saying that she was his wife.
“After we told him to stop coming around here, he would become angry and said that I was blocking him from Stacy,” Nanton said in an interview which appeared in today’s edition of the Searchlight newspaper.
Speaking of the Monday evening when she received the news she said she was sitting on her porch when two guys came running and told her that “Stacy geh chop up in town and dead.”
Moments before she had a premonition and thought something was wrong.
Reports say that the man accosted Stacy in the Leeward Bus Terminal Monday evening during rush hour when there were hundreds of people around. She brushed off his advances and boarded a mini-van. The man disappeared and came back soon afterwards with rope and a cutlass. He pulled her from the van and started his attack, cutting of a wrist and struck her head. The head did not fall. People on the scene reported that he allegedly held the neck and sawed off the head with the sword.
The killing sent shock waves throughout the Vincentian community across the world. Within hours explicit photos and videos were in circulation on the super information highway.
Police responded within minutes but were too late to save Stacy but they apprehended the man, dispersed the crowd, and secured the crime scene.

It’s very different in the Caribbean. Usually images of the victim, such as these are released to the public…ASAP. Sad and disgusting, but I am used to seeing this. It happens all the time where I am from. It needs to stop. BUT how? That’s the question

I totally remembered hearing about this a few a years ago, couple days before school was let out for christmas vacation. I was in TOTAL shock too see and hear about this Mutilation…BUT like Yaz said…It’s very different in the Caribbean and stupid and ridiculous things like THIS happens ALMOST everyday. Sad to say but that’s the truth and the really sad thing is, is that we really don’t know how to stop it.

let this be a well learned lesson that there are sick people that exits in this world..Women are faced with this and need to be very cautious..This went on for almost a year according to Stacy’s mother..This should have been reported earlier to police..May God bless and give her family the strength to get through this..I would sure like to know what happend to the guy who did this more than horrific murder..I hope the court will agree for his wrist and head to be chopped off as well.-Ed

This man who committed this murder should be hanged in public and it has to be done slowly with a lot of pain.
I want him to face so much pain.
My heart is boiling and I’m so angry that I cant breathe.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
