Just to follow up on the story of the woman shot twice in the back of the head here is an excerpt from a Business Week article (July 5, 1999) describing the event:
According to the indictment, Abramo & Co. themselves were ripped off--which prosecutors believe led to murder. The indictment says that in February, 1996, $1.7 million was transferred out of an account Abramo allegedly controlled in the Bahamas. The following December, a Bahamian woman who was a signatory on the account, Joy Cartright, was murdered in her sleep with two gunshot wounds to the back of her head. At a hearing for Abramo on June 22, Federal Bureau of Investigation agent Kelly Thomas testified that Bahamian police concluded, after an 'exhaustive investigation,'' that the money's disappearance was the reason for the murder. However, the indictment does not allege complicity by any of the defendants.
Perhaps Mr. Sylver should modify his beliefs, as this incident appears to have nothing to do with Canadian Shorties. |
