August 5 is the new date when murder accused Shawn \u2018Soca Slide<\/strong>\u2019 Mussington, charged with murdering his reported ex-partner, will appear in the St John\u2019s Magistrates\u2019 Court.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Mussington was remanded to Her Majesty\u2019s Prison last November after he was charged with murdering Simone Whyte just a day prior.<\/p>\n

The defendant made his first court appearance in November 2020, after being charged with murdering the mother-of-three a day prior and the date for his next hearing was set for February.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

But when he appeared that month, it was again adjourned to the next month since only new matters were being heard by the court.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Now the committal has been delayed once more because, according to the prosecution, the Director of Public Prosecutions requested to see the forensic report before proceeding.<\/p>\n

That report has to be obtained from Jamaica where the evidence was analysed.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It will now be another two months before Chief Magistrate Joanne Walsh can declare if there is enough evidence against Mussington to send the matter to the High Court.<\/p>\n

It is believed that Mussington killed 45-year old hairdresser Whyte in St John\u2019s on 14th November, 2020.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The incident occurred at around 8.30 pm at a store located at the junction of Market and Tanner streets.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The Jamaican woman, who worked at a nearby hair salon, was apparently socialising in the area when the assailant attacked her with a sharp object.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She reportedly died about two hours after being stabbed by the accused, her ex-lover.<\/p>\n

After the incident, the accused reportedly fled the scene, and the police launched a manhunt to capture him.<\/p>\n

Whyte was said to have moved to Antigua just over four years ago and is the mother of four children who reside in Jamaica.<\/p>\n
