Man to be sentenced for turning wife into human torch

Carmelita Jones

Melroy Simpson is currently awaiting sentence for the killing of his reputed wife Carmelita Jones whom he burnt in 2012 after an argument over milk.

Appearing before Jus-tice James Bovell-Drakes at the High Court yesterday morning, Simpson denied the capital offence read to him for murdering Jones on September 18th, 2012.

He, however pleaded to the lesser charge of manslaughter—admitting to unlawfully killing the woman on that day.
