The St James Police have charged 19-year-old Nicolette McFarlane with the stabbing death of her lover, 28-year-old O’Brian Taylor, following a physical altercation inside the Montego Bay Transportation Centre on June 30.

Reports from the St James police are that Taylor was standing inside the Montego Bay Transportation Centre at approximately 7:30 pm when he saw his female partner with a male companion.

Taylor reportedly became jealous and an argument is said to have occurred between him and the woman, who is of a Mount Pete address in Hanover.

It is said that she then pulled a "small brown handle knife from her handbag" which she allegedly used to stab Taylor to the left side of his chest.

A well-placed source stated that Taylor then ran to the Barnett Street Police Station where he collapsed on the compound.

The man was assisted by officers to the Cornwall Regional Hospital where he was being treated. He later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead by doctors at 9:28 pm, just two hours after the stabbing incident.

The accused female later went to the Barnett Street Police Station where she handed over the knife and was subsequently arrested.
