BEAUTY queen Carolan Lynnch, charged with the murder of her husband, Swiss House cambio boss Farouk Razac, has questioned why she would want to kill her husband and leave her daughter without a father’s love.
Lynch, now in the New Amsterdam women’s prison after being charged Friday, in a letter to the media, said there was no US$1M life insurance policy in the name of her husband as reported by some sections of the media.
“Anyone that know us for the 13 years we have been together know how much I took care of Farouk and his parents and family”, Lynch said in the letter from La Penitence lock-ups where she was being held for questioning in the death of her husband.
“My daughter (Selena) is 8-years-old. Why would I want to leave her without a father’s love?”
She said she had not seen her daughter since she was taken in for questioning.
She was denied the opportunity of attending her husband’s funeral. At the funeral service held by leading members of the Central Islamic Organisation of Guyana, there was no mention of Lynch in the speeches on Razac.
Razac was pronounced dead at Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) Monday morning after his wife said she had found him on the floor of a bedroom in their Ireng Place, Bel Air Park, Georgetown, home with blood oozing from his mouth.
The 33-year-old appeared Friday before Magistrate Gordon Gilhuys. Before she was remanded, her lawyer Nigel Hughes said he would expect that the preliminary inquiry (PI) into the charge for the capital offence would not be subject to delays and the judicial system not influenced by the press in what he called “this malicious prosecution.”
Police Inspector Desiree Fowler, prosecuting, did not object to the Defence request for an early hearing.
Hughes had also asked that the prisoner on remand be allowed to attend the funeral service for her deceased husband in the afternoon but the magistrate declared he did not want to get involved in the Police administrative duties and suggested they be consulted on the issue.
Lynch is to make her next court appearance on May 17.
Prior to his murder, Razac and Lynch were facing summary trial on joint charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition as a result of raids on their home and were both on bail.
&Now I will have to face that charge on my own,” Lynch said in her letter.
Police said Razac was strangled to death and may have been dead before he was taken to the hospital.
