JULIE, A woman is dead and the best thing u can criticise is that her husband was an ugly black man…
the woman was an opportunist .. typically , she played the wrong cards to the wrong man at the wrong time.. . learn to call a spade a spade ... then u can comment on newspaper articles..

i know Ifill personally as he did some work for my family. Alwys seemed a decent gentleman so i was shocked to see what he’s accused of doing but Ifill surrendered himself to the police which means he is willing to take responsibility for his actions !!

I agree with Julie….  Look what she left in Guyana to pick up!

Somania I also agree with you about calling a spade a spade.

All these Bajans that think they can go to Guyana and find a wife or girl friend and think they have something special usually find that these women will horn them the first chance they get.

  If you can’t stand the horn ,don’t don’t bring home the cow.‘Cause when you are monkey as ever ,you will get horn.

The accused being a Mr. Universe is irrelevant. A murder has been committed. The deceased was trying to obtain a better life and unfortunately met her demise at the hands of her husband(allegedly).

if you are guilty of the crime, then do your time. Hope your punishment would be a long and hard one. Public floggings and humiliation should be introduced to these heartless cowards, or stone them to death.

She was just desperate to get her papers so she settled for this guy who propably never had a good looking woman in his life….later resulting in jealousy.  The point is nothing that she did or not should justify her being killed in that brutal manner…. may her soul rest in peace.

Re: Julie and Zee
Both of you know fully well that NO INDIAN MAN IN GUYANA WOULD HAVE MARRIED THIS WOMAN, BECAUSE SHE IS Big. Even if she was still in Guyana, she would not have taken a black man,(UNLESS HE HAS MONEY) because you both know that Indians don’t like people who are darker than them and don’t have straight hair
I feel the only reason she married this man is because she wanted status, and material possessions.
So you people need to stop behaving as though she did this guy a favour, because it is the other way around.

I really don’t know what it is with some blogger saying that the man is ugly. Indian people will do anything to get what they want in this world. It is their custom.
If he was a Guyanese, she would not have even looked in his direction. But just because she wants to be here, she jumped at the opportunity to marry him.
I am not saying that if he killed her that it is right. However,  I HOPE THAT THIS BE A LESSON TO ALL THOSE INDIAN WOMEN WHO THINK THAT THEY CAN USE BLACK MEN, THEN DUMP THEM.

Julie, Taheyra, Somania, Zee, Steve -

Where is your outrage?
Where is your compassion?
Where is your head?!

A woman - a mother of two - was murdered by a cowardly, disgusting person, shoved in a well and hidden for days.

Your concern lies with how the man looks, or her efforts to better her life, or some unfounded allegations of infidelity, or some support for the murderous man because he turned himself in.

It is because of this apathy and ignorace and HATRED that domestic violence abounds in Barbados.

SHAME ON YOU!  Disgusting.  Ignorant.  Awful.

I don’t understand why these women marry such vicious men. Dude, if you are ugly I am going to take you woman. Murder is not the answer. Remember beauty fades and ugly is forever.


Good Luck

A person has died and all some people can think about is who is ugly,and who is from Guyana. don’t matter where you are from, you are human. These two people need our prayers. Both left behind young children and they are the ones most affected by this tragedy. Stop the name calling. Every one goes somewhere to better their lives. Things don’t always work out as planned. I know Mark and Bibi and they both were nice people. Its a great lost on both sides. May Bibi rest in peace,and Mark have a fair trial.  My prayers goes out to both families.

Sad to see what happened but you do not marry someone from the internet or after a short meeting. Love takes time.
I feel he is a monster, and who ever introduced her to him also be charged as an accessory to a crime.
