Quote: THE sudden and mysterious death on November 29, 1988 of Dr Aubrey Fraser, director of legal education in the Council of Legal Education in Jamaica and a retired Judge of Appeal of Trinidad and Tobago, reverberated not only across Jamaica but the wider Caribbean as well.

Guyana-born Dr Fraser, at the time of his death, was a man in the news as he had been in the midst of chairing a Commission of Enquiry into a much-publicised accident at the Jamaica Flour Mills in Kingston.

In the wee hours of that November morning, Fraser's wife of 36 years, Aileen Fraser, telephoned her next-door neighbour, Dr John Martin, a medical doctor and the then Custos Rotulorum for the parish of St Andrew, to say: "Dr John, Aubrey is clammy and cold and I can't manage him, could you come over and help me?"

Dr Martin told a Circuit Court jury later he thought his neighbour had suffered a heart attack, so he rushed next door within two to three minutes. He was met at the bedroom door by Aileen Fraser, who told him: "Sorry, John. Aubrey passed."

Martin entered the room where he said he "saw Aubrey flat on his back, his arms crossed in 'sweet repose'". He instantly suspected foul play and telephoned the commissioner of police.

Investigations into this mysterious death led to a Coroner's Inquest held in June 1991 when a Coroner's jury under the guidance of Resident Magistrate M Dukaran (now Judge of Appeal) held that Dr Fraser's wife, Aileen, a 69-year-old social worker, and the couple's daughter, Allison Fraser-Hunt, and son, Rowan, should be charged with murder.

The trial lasted 19 days in the No 1 Home Circuit Court before Justice Lensley Wolfe, OJ (now retired chief justice of Jamaica) and a jury. Director of Public Prosecutions Glen Andrade, QC, (now deceased) presented the case for the prosecution. Frank Phipps, QC and Wentworth Charles appeared for Rowan Fraser. Dennis Daly, QC appeared for Aileen Fraser, and Allison Fraser-Hunt was defended by Richard Small.

Dr Aubrey Fraser was a west indian legal scholar and bureaucratic luminary who was once chief justice of Trinidad and Tobago.

I met this man once and was part of a long conversation with him and others.  I had no idea this is what became of him.

he was of course Guyanese, of  Bajan parents.

Quote: This is the final in a two part story on the murder of Dr Aubrey Fraser.

GIVING evidence in the celebrated Aubrey Fraser murder trial, Assistant Commissioner of Police Daniel Wray said Mrs Aileen Fraser, the accused wife of the deceased, told him that because their son Stuart and his friends were speaking loudly that night of November 29, 1988, while they were on the verandah, she had gone to her husband's bedroom to see if he was being disturbed.

But when she went to check, the door was closed. She pushed it and found that there was an obstruction behind the door. She remained in the dining room until about 12:40 am. She went back to the bedroom, found the door still closed, and on pushing it, discovered it was blocked by a carton of books. She saw her husband's briefcase open with documents strewn all over the floor. She put the documents back into the briefcase, looked across and said to her husband: "Man, what happened to you?"

When she got no response, she turned on the light — which she had earlier turned off — and saw her husband lying on his back. She felt him and he was cold. Wray said she later told him she had realised that her husband was dead. She thereupon went to Stuart and told him to ask his friends to leave "because something happened to your father".

Wray said he had the place dusted for fingerprints, inclusive of the toilet tank cover and the briefcase. He gave instructions for the towels, the pillow and the garments being worn by Dr Fraser to be submitted to the Forensic Laboratory for testing.

The Flour Mill passed a lotta Dough ?    :-[

I recall that Case but then as usual it gets forgotten....


On the thread we talking about Guyanese luminaries I thought of Dr. Walter Rodney assasination..

he is also forgotten.....

from what I read she could not escape. 

it looks like she did it..or some alien who can slip through walls got in did the job and split same way.

and her daughter must have been complicit too.

but why would they do it unless Aubrey was a lot more and a bad man..a conception that was opposed to his public image.

and if he was indeed a bad man..did his son know..the one who gave evidence against his mother ::confused::
