`Angel of death’ gets 14 years for chopping woman while she slept

Neil Archer

Forty-nine-year-old father of two Neil Archer, who killed his wife back in 2003 for which he completed a 17-year sentence in 2016, was yesterday sentenced to 14 years for the brutal chopping of another woman, whose fingers he severed in an attack as she slept, following his release from prison.

“Angel of death” was how the virtual complainant who was chopped about the body and can no longer write, straighten or use her fingers, described Archer.

“He has not impressed me as being genuinely interested in rehabilitation” Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall said in a stern reprimand to the offender who begged for mercy and sought the forgiveness of the complainant and her children.
