Death by Conch Shell, American Woman Killed by Husband  

Police have charged forty-one-year-old Maynor Rene Ancona with the death of his wife, American national Jennifer Lynn Griffith. Ancona was charged with manslaughter by negligence. Police Commissioner Chester Williams confirmed to reporters today that Griffith died after being hit by a conch shell in the head. According to Williams, Ancona reportedly threw the conch shell by mistake during a brawl that took place in San Pedro Town over the weekend. While Ancona has not confessed to accidentally killing his wife, Williams says investigators have enough evidence to substantiate the charge.

 

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
“The pathologist certified that the lady died from  a penetration to the head by  a projectile. I also think that fragments of the conch shell was also found in her head. And so we can see definitively now that it was a commercial that caused, caused her debt.  The question now  is who threw the commercial that caused her death.  And, we have recorded a number of statements from persons who were involved in the fight as well as other independent witnesses.  And from the investigation, it appeared that, we can confirm from the investigation that the person who threw the projectile that caused the death of the American woman is her husband. And so he will be charged today for manslaughter by negligence. He was throwing it indiscriminately and then it caught her and that led to her death. It’s a very sad situation. I know that he must be going through a very, very difficult time now. He lost his wife. And now he has to be charged for it. For sure, he did not intend to, but in law there is a thing that is called transfer of malice.”
