‘Ocho’ held wife’s hair from behind & slit her throat- Court hears
The offence of murder is an indictable one and the accused, who was unrepresented at the time but told the court Attorney At Law Patrick Thompson will be defending him, was not required to plea.
Giving further details, the DPP alleged that Da Silva said he had followed his wife around on June 10, 2017 and when he got home he found her packing her belongings and stated that she was leaving him. An argument ensued and, according to his testimony to police, his wife said in the heat of the argument "I don't know why deh didn't kill you and done."
The accused said at that stage he claimed “a feelings” came over him and he slit her throat. He couldn't recall how he got the knife.
Mr Da Silva was shot multiple times in an attempted robbery in Jamaica back in 2014.
Neighbours prevented accused from leaving murder scene
The court heard that police were alerted to a domestic violence incident but when they got to the scene they found the accused at his door as neighbours had stopped him from leaving.
29 year old Mrs Sherika Nelson-DaSilva was found lying on the ground with her throat slit.
Two children, an 11 year old boy and a 4 year old girl, were said to have been in the home at the time of the incident but were not there when police arrived.
A remorseful DaSilva, as he was about to leave the box, stopped to apologise to Senior Magistrate Tamia N. Richards for disappointing her and everyone else who knew him. "I ask you all to pray for me because some things in life happen that we don't want to happen," Mr Da Silva remarked.
The man is said to have been living in the territory for more than 30 years. It was also stated that there was no prior report of domestic violence reported to the police by either the victim or the defendant.
Tha accused was remanded until July 12, 2017.

Ocho - why you talking without a lawyer present?!?! They will twist it up to hang you out to dry. That "feeling" was you losing your mind and not thinking clearly and now you are regretful. The truth will come out and while it doesn't excuse your actions - this should serve as a lesson to all whom want marriage and want to play on the side! Saddened to hear that this transpired.

Read Proverbs 5, 6 and 7 for just as it is written, it will happen. Bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword, will never go unpunished, blows and disgrace, and your shame will never be wiped away.

I could never describe how happy I was when he returned to Tortola safe and sound, even though scarred. This is a hard one. I feel so sorry for the young lady losing her life in such a tragic manner, and for him now losing his freedom amongst other things. Sometimes you just wish that you had the power to turn the clock back...
I know Ocho from way back here in VG..always helpful ,kind and mild mannered..Something serious is wrong in this place...It's a tragedy that this young lady lost her life and this young man lost his freedom and the kinds and family have to live with this fact for the rest of their lives. God Help us all.
I am not only talking about the Jamacian and Santo women, yes, a lot of you from right here is also doing it.
If you're played, leave. If you want to play, leave. No one deserves to die.
The saddest and most tragic "lesson" in all of this is for the children who witnessed it -- I can only hope and pray they will get the help and support they need to overcome this brutality and the fact that they have lost a mother and a father.
Oh boy ocho am sorry for you my boy you was jus a hard working man I could remember when u told me you was goin to Jamaica because you fine a girl on fbook an I ask you do u really was to take that change an your answer was you goin to experience how Jamaica is like an then I here you was shot up how much times an you told me u done with that relationship and you keep telling me how the girl keep calling you and harassing you an saying how she sorry about wahappen to you...I feel for you my boy this is a heavy load on you hope the lord bring you true this

This island people talk is old and stupid. They leave lot of all you tolians and others will lose house land job family etc. Stupid talk. We are always trying to protect our locals when they cause bullshit in their own lives. Lazy set of people. Especailly the one between 15 and 30. The men are ridiculious. BTW i from the BVI and proud just disappointed in the ignorance and laziness in my people. Ocho is a good man that snapped may good be with him through this time and protect the children from harms way.
