Alberttown man fatally stabbed by common-law wife

Dead – Eason Hamilton

What was described as an abusive relationship by many ended in death yesterday when 23-year-old Eason Hamilton was fatally stabbed by his reputed wife who he was at the time trying to prevent from leaving his house. She has since been placed in custody.

According to reports, Hamilton, of Lot 57 Fourth Street, Alberttown, Georgetown, was fatally stabbed by the 20-year-old with whom he shared a common-law relationship with for a number of years. The stabbing occurred  at about 6.30 am yesterday.

At the scene yesterday, the wife’s attorney, Suzanne Bullen, told Stabroek News that her client birthed three children for the now dead man who she alleged was abusive to the young mother. According to Bullen, the wife  recently took out a restraining order against Hamilton and had gone to live at her mother after he had abused her. However, the man kept calling the woman’s phone pleading with her to go back to live with him, which she ended up doing.
