Renesha Remanded For Stabbing Common Law In Chest
posted (April 27, 2018)
Today a 19 year old female was arraigned for stabbing her common law husband, Herman Solis, who's also 19. Police say she did it after she read a text message on his phone.

Renesha Alvarez, from Holy Emmanuel Street was charged with dangerous harm when she appeared today before Chief Magistrate, Sharon Fraser. No plea was taken but the Crown objected to bail. They say that if she gets bail, she may end up being harmed by the relatives of the man she stabbed.

The police prosecutor added that he has two more surgeries to take and his condition is still uncertain; and further charges may be levied against Alvarez.

Chief Magistrate Fraser upheld the objection and denied Alvarez bail, remanding her into custody until May 25.

The incident happened on Tuesday when - according to what Herman Solis told police - Alvarez saw a text message from another woman in his phone, which started an argument. He said Alvarez took a knife and stabbed him in the upper left side of his chest near to his heart. He remains in ward at the KHMH - where police said he was critical but stable.
