NASSAU, Bahamas – An Australian woman previously convicted of her husband’s murder in the Bahamas was found not guilty on last week in a retrial.

Donna Vasyli was charged with stabbing Phillip Vasyli, a millionaire podiatrist and her husband of three decades, to death in 2015 at their home in the Caribbean nation.

Her conviction, which had come with a 20-year prison sentence, was later thrown out by the Bahamas Court of Appeal in 2017 which cited a mishandling of the trial by the judge.

A retrial was ordered and she was released from jail. 

The jury’s not-guilty verdict on Thursday, March 9, 2023, was unanimous.

Vasyli was “relieved” by the verdict, her lawyer Owen Wells told Reuters. “Her life was put on hold for eight  years.”

    This is how the whites solve marital problems. Fact not up to debate.

    She and her husband were the only one's home and she killed him. How does she become innocent? Oh yeah, she is rich and white-skinned. Well, another entitled person gets off and her lawyer says 8 years of her life was disrupted? Well her dead husband has no more years to live, thanks to her.
