Chops and Poison

Chops and poison
By KARL E. CUPID Tobago Bureau Friday, December 14 2012
AUTOPSIES yesterday confirmed that multiple chops and ingestion of a poisonous liquid caused the deaths of Belinda Solomon-Sobers and her lover Daniel Benjamin, respectively.
The autopsies were done at the mortuary of the Scarborough Hospital by pathologist Dr Eastlyn McDonald Burris. Solomon-Sobers, 36, a mother of three was hacked to death at her Coral Gardens, Buccoo home on Tuesday.

Her killer, Benjamin, later died near Solomon-Sobers’ house after ingesting a poisonous liquid substance. Benjamin, 56, of Old Grange, was a wood-worker who operated a wood-working shop at his home located not too far from Solomon-Sobers’ home.

Meanwhile, Solomon-Sobers’ 13-year-old daughter, who was also chopped by Benjamin in the murderous attack was yesterday discharged from the Scarborough Hospital, where she was warded following the incident.

“She is all right; she is just normal…for now,” stated a relative yesterday. According to police reports, Solomon-Sobers who was separated from her husband, and Benjamin, who lived with his wife and family, were involved in a romantic relationship.

Benjamin was a joiner who operated a wood-work furniture shop, while Solomon-Sobers was employed as a maid at a commercial bank in Scarborough. During the course of the relationship, Benjamin reportedly funded and carried out repairs to Solomon-Sobers’ home as well as provided her with household furnishings and other personal items.

Residents in the area said things turned sour when Benjamin realised that Solomon-Sobers was reconciling with her husband.
