Convicted and sentenced to 18 years for the killing of her boyfriend, Tramangra Williams has been released on parole after serving four years in prison.

Williams, a mother of two, was released on parole in June of 2018. As a result, she withdrew a request for an appeal when she appeared before the Appellate Court yesterday.

Williams, 32, called ‘Queenie,’ was charged with the murder of her Bajan boyfriend Tyrone McDonald Best, whom she allegedly stabbed during an altercation on December 27th, 2008.

However, in 2014 a jury found her guilty of the lesser count of manslaughter and she was sentenced to serve 18 years by Justice Navindra Singh.

Initial police investigations indicated that Best, who lived at Section ‘D,’ South Sophia, was the victim of an armed robbery. However, as police continued their investigations, Williams, also of South Sophia, was arrested and subsequently charged with the murder.

Best died on January 3rd, 2009, while a patient of the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he had been hospitalised after the stabbing.
