CHARGES against a 32-year-old man, who was previously charged in connection with the shooting and wounding of a woman, are expected to be upgraded to murder after the victim died at the hospital.

On the night of February 18, Wendy Thomas, 57, of Solomon Street, Cedar Hill Village, Princes Town, passed away in the intensive care unit of the San Fernando General Hospital.

The mother of four was shot in the chest on the night of January 27 while in her gallery. A man walked into her yard and shot her. She was taken to the Princes Town District Health Facility before being transferred to the hospital.
