Ten years jail for ex-cop who attempted to kill ex-lover

Ex-policeman Waliaferro Joseph who was found guilty of attempting to murder his former lover, Uneatha McLean, at her Number 50 Village, Corentyne home, six years ago was yesterday sentenced to ten years in jail by Justice Brassington Reynolds.

“It seems like violence is taking over. The sensible thing you should have done was to walk away. The jury did not believe your story. You premediated to do what you did. It was a deadly attack on a defenceless woman,” Justice Reynolds told Joseph yesterday during sentencing.
