Woman convicted of killing lover

Murder accused Lynette Charlton

NASSAU- A jury has found a woman guilty of murder for shooting her lover in 2015.

Lynette Charlton, 48, asked Wayne Seymour to pick her up from her home off Soldier Road on December 27, 2015 so they could talk.

They got into an argument while driving on Adelaide Road and she pulled a handgun, causing him to stop his truck and run away.

The jury found that Charlton shot Seymour three times as he fled.

Then she drove off in his Chevrolet Silverado truck, leaving him for dead.

However, Seymour didn’t die immediately. And he told multiple people who shot him before he died in hospital on December 28, 2015.

Prosecutors alleged that Charlton killed Seymour because she was jealous that he was seeing other women.

However, Charlton denied ever being in a relationship with Seymour.

Instead, she described him as her “f*** buddy.”

Additionally, Charlton denied shooting Seymour or being with him.

However, gunshot residue tested positive on Charlton’s hands.

Justice Jeanine Gomez will sentence Charlton next year.

She has ordered psychiatric and probation reports to assist with sentencing.
