A 71-year-old woman has been charged with murder in connection with the death of an elderly man earlier this month in Black Rock.
The Barbados Police Service said Veronica Eudora Mayers, of Bridge Gap, Upper Goodland, St. Michael, has been arrested and formally charged with the murder of Ralph Forde.
The charge relates to an incident on March 9, 2026, when Forde was fatally stabbed at a residence in the Bridge Gap area.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mayers is scheduled to appear before the Chief Magistrate at the Oistins Magistrates’ Court today, Monday and not the District ‘A’ Criminal Court.
