The rural community of Green Bottom in Sandy Bay was jolted Monday evening by the bizarre murder of a disabled teenage girl who was savagely stabbed while her stepmother reportedly slept in an adjoining room of their Clarendon home.
Shelly-Ann Williams, 17, who has Down syndrome, was discovered, lying face down in a pool of blood, by her father, Howard Williams, and stepmother Shelly-Ann Allen after her dad returned home from work and queried about her whereabouts.
A visibly shaken Allen said that she last heard the teenager laughing in her room while speaking with her father on the phone earlier in the evening.
