The 29-year-old accused, Norbia Allen of Graham Street in Kingston, was arrested and charged for the murder of 45-year-old Patrick Coombs on November 26 last year.
The police alleged that on the day in question both parties were at Coombs' house at Victoria Street in downtown Kingston when they had a dispute. The police further alleged that during the dispute Allen was hit in the face and retaliated by pulling a knife and stabbing her lover in the chest
Coombs was rushed to the Kingston Public Hospital where he died while undergoing treatment.
Allen was arrested and charged and first appeared in court last December but was released on $300,000 bail. Her lawyer David Clarke told the court during the bail application that Allen was in an abusive relationship for many years and that she was fearful of Coombs.
However, on Monday when the matter was mentioned, Senior Magistrate Judith Pusey was told that the post-mortem report was not yet available and as a result, Allen's bail was extended. more
