THERE WAS DISQUIET and even outrage in Newbury, St George, yesterday following the release of convicted killer Arleigh Hector James.
James, who was convicted for the vicious 1994 beheading of his wife Debra James and also killed his 14-year-old stepdaughter Sabrina Arlington in the same attack, was set free yesterday afternoon.
Last evening several residents were hopping mad and others were in a state of shock as news of his release began to spread throughout the close-knit community.
One of those persons most saddened by the news was Fadelma George, who was on the receiving end of James’ cutlass when in 1994 he charged into her home and killed his wife and her teen daughter, and allegedly attempted to kill his eight-year-old son. George received wounds to her right hand as she tried in vain to prevent James from gaining access to her home as his family sought refuge there. (SDB Media)
