Husband accused of wanting to hire hitman to kill wife
The report from FSN was nothing but positive on the part of the husband, who is on trial for a prior incident, as he had successfully completed the counselling session. With such a report, it was for the Crown to give its final position of either discontinuing the matter against Ollivierrie or making further recommendations.
But it was at that stage that the Crown informed the court that they had found themselves in an unusual position as prior to the case being called Mrs Johnson-Ollivierrie informed that her husband had been in breach of the court order which prohibited him from getting involved in any further altercation with his wife as a condition of his bail.
Hiring a hitman
The Crown’s representative Ms Chantel L. Flax-Ward told the court that the wife informed the Crown that her husband had since threatened to kill her and that she had information of him allegedly wanting to import a hitman from overseas to do the job. She alleged that he had also pulled a knife on her (Mrs Johnson-Ollivierrie ) during a heated argument.
In January 2015 when the court had heard the initial case against the man, for which he was sent to FSN, Ms Richards had said it was her understanding that the two were living together but much to her surprise, based on the information of the Crown, that had changed shortly after leaving the court.
The Crown had also told the court of the wife providing an audio recording of what was perceived to have been that of an altercation mainly between the two as there were lots of screaming and the voice believed to have been that of a landlord asking what was going on and someone shouting "Behave, Behave".
It was the allegation of the wife also that the husband was very aggressive towards her in public especially during practice sessions as they both are members of the Vincy Cricket Team.
Husband’s version
Given the opportunity to give his version, Mr Ollivierrie told the court that he was no longer living with his wife as she had put out all his clothing and he now lives with his mother. He related a story of him being confronted by the wife who allegedly accused him of being with another woman and during which time she had slapped him, causing injury to his nose.
He also told the court of an incident where, after an argument between the two, the woman ran him down with her vehicle before speeding away from the scene. He said he reported the matter to police.
Mr Ollivierrie told the court that he has made plans to leave the territory right after his matter is over in the courts as he was aware that his wife had been in contact with Immigration in attempts to have him deported.
Couple’s problems affecting child
He related that a child they have from their union is being severely affected as he seems to be turning against the father due to the alleged influence of the mother. The child is just four years old and was said to have been removed from the mother's home as she allegedly lives with an “unstable brother” who was caught giving the little child beers to drink. The child now resides with a grandmother with arrangements in place for the mother to have him at specified times.
The story was one that caused the senior magistrate to express her concerns about the child who she said is the one who will grow up being affected the most.
Consider a divorce
Since there was no charge against the mother, the court had no jurisdiction over her and could not have addressed her. The Magistrate, however, advised the man to take guidance from FSN as to how to file for a restraining order against the wife and also advised that he considers getting a divorce as it was obvious that there was grim hope that the two were going to be able to resolve their issues.
The defendant had requested that the magistrate order his wife not to visit the home of his mother as it was allegedly causing many challenges as she frequently “disturbs the peace”.
Ms Richards then added new conditions to the man's bail which prohibits him from coming into close contact with the his wife.
