An Ari­ma man is ex­pect­ed to ap­pear be­fore a Mag­is­trate vir­tu­al­ly to­day, charged with the mur­der of his wife, Aman­da Leid, which oc­curred on May 28th.

Up­on ar­riv­ing at the scene, of­fi­cers ob­served a fire em­a­nat­ing from an apart­ment. When the blaze was ex­tin­guished, her body was found un­der a bed­frame in a bed­room. An au­top­sy re­vealed she died as a re­sult of mul­ti­ple stab wounds to the body.

The ac­cused sought med­ical at­ten­tion at the Port of Spain Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal and was ar­rest­ed lat­er that day by of­fi­cers of the In­ter­A­gency Task Force in con­nec­tion with the in­ci­dent.
