Stepmother and son charged after allegedly chopping common-law husband

ST MARY, Jamaica – A stepmother and son duo were arrested and charged after they allegedly chopped the woman’s common-law husband at their home in St Mary on Thursday.

Charged with wounding with intent and unlawful wounding are 37-year-old Cherian Birch, otherwise called ‘Munchie’, and 18-year-old Tyron Harrow, otherwise called ‘Tyreek’, both of Baileys Vale district, Port Maria in the parish.

Reports from the Port Maria Police are that Birch and her common-law husband were at home when an argument developed between them.

Harrow, the son of the husband, reportedly intervened. Harrow allegedly held on to his father and a struggle ensued, causing them to fall to the ground.

It is alleged that both Birch and Harrow held down the husband and inflicted chop wounds on his body.

He managed to escape and was assisted to the hospital by police, where he was admitted in serious but stable condition.

Birch and Harrow were arrested and subsequently charged with the offences. Their court date is being finalised.
