Jamaican Sandra Hall (42) has been acquitted on the charge of murdering Guyanese man Alexander Radford Seaforth better known as Skinny on October 18th 2010 on the island of St Martin.
According to the St Martin News Network the Appeals Court acquitted her on Friday on the grounds of self defence.
Hall had been sentenced to 9 years on January 27th 2011 for stabbing to death the former Guyana Police officer.
The report said that Kimelia Austin, sister of Radford Seaforth said she was at a loss for words when she heard about the verdict. Austin told the St Martin outlet that the family of the deceased felt they were cheated because no one informed them of the appeal and the hearing. Austin said the family is looking at their options because they want justice for their brother. She said had the family known of this appeal hearing they would have travelled to St. Maarten.
