Flowers, 27, is accused of knocking down and killing Lyndon Morrison, and injuring his girlfriend Sochyl Sosa while the two were travelling on his motorcycle
Calaney Flowers, 27, had her murder case committed to the Supreme Court after a preliminary inquiry into her case was done by Chief Magistrate Anne Marie Smith.
Flowers is accused of the August 28, 2012, murder of her ex-boyfriend, Lyndon Morrison, 29, and the attempted murder of Morrison’s girlfriend, Sochyl Sosa, 25.
According to reports, Morrison and Sosa were on Morrison’s motorcycle on the night of August 28, 2012. When they got to the Belcan Bridge roundabout, Sosa noticed a maroon Saturn following them and recognized it as Flowers’ vehicle, and saw Flowers behind the steering wheel.
Just minutes before she noticed the car following them, Morrison and Flowers had gotten into an altercation about him being able to see his baby, a child he shared with Flowers.
After seeing Flowers following them, Sosa reportedly told Morrison and asked him to stop, but he was unable to do so. By the time they got to the speed bump in front of Central Assembly Church on Freetown Road and slowed to cross, Flowers allegedly hit the motorcycle from behind, which sent Morrison and Sosa flying into the air.
After allegedly mowing them down, Flowers went to the family home of Morrison and informed his family of what she had just done.
Morrison died two hours after the incident while receiving treatment at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital, while Sosa survived her life-threatening injuries.
This morning when Flowers appeared in court, the Chief Magistrate informed her that after reading the statements of Sosa and Morrison’s mother, she was of the opinion that she, Flowers, did have a prima facie case for which to answer.
Sosa and members of the Morrison family were present in court this morning when the magistrate announced that Flowers’ case would be committed to the Supreme Court. The family members held hands and were visibly moved to tears after learning that the alleged killer of their son and brother would be going to trial.
The prosecutor then handed over the case file in the form of a bundle which contained statements from Sosa, Morrison’s mother, father and brother; a statement from Dr. Estradabran; and statements from the Scenes of Crime technician and police officers who investigated the crime and arrested Flowers.
In the form of documentary exhibits, the court was presented with a report from the doctor who attended to Sosa, a death certificate for Morrison, a letter from Flowers, the post-mortem report and 14 sets of photographs of the crime scene and the post-mortem exam.
Flowers’ case was then committed to the April 7, 2014, session of the Supreme Court.
