An 84-year-old man in Jamaica has confessed to murdering his wife and her caregiver.

Police in Jamaica identified the woman as 80-year-old Patsy Allen and her retired nurse Teka Anderson-Nesbeth.

The elderly man said he murdered his wife because she was sleeping with her caregiver’s family member.

The retired nurse also paid the price for being the one who allegedly initiated the relationship.

His wife, Allen was found unresponsive in her Kendal district home. She was rushed to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Two hours later, Mrs. Anderson-Nesbeth was found dead in her residence by a relative in the Grange district.

She was stabbed in the head. 

After evading the police for over a week, Mrs. Allen’s husband turned himself in on Friday, August 18 and police in Jamaica said he confessed to both crimes

The 84-year-old man is yet to be charged by the police. He is reportedly receiving medical attention at a hospital.

    Well let me say something it’s time we stop playing God and judging people because their are from another country .what about people who leave one country to another and ride the waves of badness or is in their country of birth committing crime conteniously ,how do you breakdown the crime tides and judge sin because if a man kill a man and another kill 10 men ,it’s same killing it is known as murder and sin has no order it only has catergory of limitation as per say ,so let not go judging people by nationality and forgetting you are also breathing the air that everyone breath ,we need to behave like civilise people in these modern times known as the 23rd century

I now live in Antigua there are killing as well, the Syrian was killed, someone was killed tonight… but that’s does not give the right to bag all Antiguans in one bag, nor label Antiguans… The woeld needs more of Jesus and we need LOVE FOR ECAH OTHER!

    What foolishness you write on this platform. #1 Jesus Christ was so okay with slavery and colonialism but Jamaica needs Jesus NOW?…. Hilarious #2 Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, St. Lucia and other Caribbean destinations have seen a rise in violence since the Covid-19 Pandemic. Antigua and Barbuda has hundreds of unsolved murders and persons missing – of all ages – without a trace.

    Jesus is the answer for the sinful nature of man.

  • Owenson Humphreys August 20, 2023, 12:56 PM

    The reason why they are killing each other is because they have been exposed to nothing else other Christianity and that is about corruption wars slavery and all that was taught to the natives of the Western hemispheres. It is a shame that the young black people of the Western hemispheres continuing the same rip of system of hate they learned from the white man religion. Ii is sad to look at these post all these people can talk about is Jesus, sad.

    Sorry to say this but all I am reading in our Antigua news online is killing in Jamaica 🇯🇲. Is nothing good happening in Jamaica other than the evil of killing one another? Jamaica is in need of Jesus Christ. All this evil in Jamaica makes me afraid to have any close association with Jamaican natives living in Antigua. When I am around Jamaicans it gives me the frightening trills. I feel more comfortable being around Guyanese than Jamaicans.
