Family cries foul
Rasbert Turner, Star Writer
The family of a senior citizen, said to be schizophrenic, is trying to have his marriage annulled and recover money collected by a woman who got married to him.
The case, which is to be mentioned in the Supreme Court, arose after the woman who was employed as a caregiver for the man reportedly convinced him to get married to her. It is alleged that the family had employed the woman to care for the elderly man. The situation allegedly changed when, in addition to her monthly salary, she started to collect the patient's pension. She reportedly got married to the man and continued collecting the money and even opened a joint bank account.
Relatives got wind that the sick man got married and proceeded to try to recover the money.
They got the services of attorney-at-law, Hadrian Christie, who took the matter to the Supreme Court.
It is revealed that in addition to the annulment of the marriage, money totalling more than $800,000 is being sought.
The Star learnt that the female said that her husband had given her the go-ahead to use the money on her house.
It was revealed that she was not charged by the police as the complainant is incapacitated.
