Beaton is accused of stabbing, Lall, 23, to death after an argument at their home last Wednesday.

Lall was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.

The couple used to constantly have domestic problems, relatives had said.

Lall’s relatives had also claimed that he was a victim of abuse because he had a deformed hand but Beaton’s family denied the allegation saying she was the one abused.

Beaton is scheduled to return to court on November 9.
