David White’s mothers says charge Lavern for Murder
lavern longsworth
Lavern Longsworth, also known as “Anti Christ”, set her common-law-husband on fire during an argument on July fifteenth. She was charged with attempted murder, but David White succumbed to the burn injuries on Monday and it is expected that the charge against Longsworth will be upgraded. When we checked today, she had still not been arraigned. News Five spoke to Longsworth, who said she’s hoping to be charged with manslaughter and not murder. That was on Monday, but today White’s family says they want her to face the toughest penalty. They also claim White was not the abusive person Longsworth made him out to be. In fact, the only thing they agree with her on, is that they never attacked her over the weekend nor did they cause the injuries to Longsworth’s face. White’s mother says they are leaving things in the hands of God and the justice system.
Yvonne Thompson, Mother of David White
“I think it’s a real injustice, what happened to my son and this young lady is trying to look like she’s the victim. And I wish that long time you would have come to get the other side, his side because he is not that kind of abusive person that she is trying to portray him to be. But she has done a crime and she wants to look like the victim and I think it’s downright dirty, it’s wrong. If somebody is abusing you, you go to court everyday why didn’t you make a complaint? Why didn’t you show whatever he did to you; evidence to say that he is abusing you?”
Delahnie Bain
“She was first charged with attempted murder and that charge will now be upgraded; but it’s either manslaughter or murder. What are your hopes?”

“Well, I hope that it’s murder. She is asking for them to give her manslaughter. How dare she ask them to give her manslaughter? If it was my son that did her that in the first place, my son would have been badly beaten, thrown behind bars and given no bail. She works for the magistrate that she went front of so she decide my son fate that she would just give her a six thousand dollars bail and let her be out here and rejoicing. The two weeks that my son spent in the hospital in agony, cry every day, every night; going to theatre every two days scraping off those old skin—well, it’s not even skin, it’s his flesh and then when she finish she will say that she text me and she call me and I do not want to answer her. What could I have said to her? What could I have said to her as a mother with her child laying there? She even text me in the morgue when I was there waiting to identify my son.”

White will be laid to rest on Friday.
This is very bad,my heart goes out to the victim and that woman looks like she needs some mental health or she is on drugs or just hard times.
Young men will stand up & act like men when their mothers stop treating them like prissy, helpless little girls. Stop making excuses. If he saw abuse in his home & grew up believing that it was okay that does not make it so. Claiming that Lavern was the abusive one & her son assaulted him more than once only confirms what most of us believe, the child was protecting his mother, that’s what sons do. If the family cannot admit that David was abusive, there is no reason to believe that they will admit to burning this woman’s face.
That his child is now an orphan is unfortunate. She does have somebody; her grandmother & we have to get back to what made us strong as families when we had absolutely nothing but each other. There is no reason why this family who is so distraught & angry at the woman who killed their relative cannot come together to provide a stable home for this 14 year old.
This woman should not be prosecuted & if everything she said except for the family destroying her face is a lie, you have already taken the law into your hands & inflicted punishment. Stop the craziness & do your share to stop the violence.
This is no revelation as you look on lavern u can see she is a struggling crackhead. Ofcourse they were both stealing together probably to get high, i bet the fights were about who got to the smoke the last piece of the crack. Send her to jail she didnt do it out of PTSD she did it because of frustration.
Murder is in order.
You cannot claim self defense by throwing gasoline on someone and setting that person on fire. If indeed she was being abused, she choose the wrong time to act.
Setting someone on fire is a thought out act, you had the time to think about it. VS a true self defense situation where the man was say choking her and she picked up a knife and stabbed him till he stopped his attack then that’s justifiable in my eyes.
Laverne needs to report what happen to her face, there’s no way she can wake up in the morning and find her face in that condition and dont know how it got that way? The mother is now acting like her son was a good person, wasn’t he always in trouble with the law?
what we need is family love and to respect each other… mayb they were on drugs … but if the male person being abus why didn’t he leave??? he is a man thats why they are call man , to be leaders, strong and capable i their life.. mother teach your son to be a man by loving and respecting their their other half not by violence , anger, hatred… also someone got start teching family values, morals.etc
This woman need to be awarded. Men need to learn how to treat women with love. All Belizean women should put together to pay a lawyer for her. Mothers will never say the truth about their sons.
There comes a time when people snap and contant abuse would drive any sane person to snap. Too many persons in the Belizean society are getting away with harming others. What did Laverne endure? Did any care before? If you do not know the circumstances it is best to keep quiet. True a person is dead but sometimes as cold as it might seem, what was he offerring mankind? His family owuld have known exactly how he was so why trying to shift the blame?
The reason why Belizean men are not men is because of these kinds of Mothers as far as they are concerned their son never does anything wrong, they can beat someone else’s daughter to death and they will still take the side of their son. Everyone have a breaking point none of us were in side those people’s house on a daily basis so none of us out here know the truth, but I do know Belizean mother’s are always for their sons and they condone their bad behavior and that is a FACT. So mother’s remember this incident because more of you will cry for your sons if you continue to condone their cruelty and bad behavior against women and children.
So u son innocent mommy, he no do Lavern nothing hmmm…..dah dem same one burn dah lady face. After all she gahn through with them rotten son now dem wah burn up she face and throw ah inna jail from she daughta. So sad fi Lavern, we can’t take law inna we own hands
these responses are ignorant!
HOW ALL OF SUDDEN LAVERENE FACE IS BURNED? OBVIOUSLY SHE DID IT DUH!
SHE BURN THE MAN THEN HE IS NOW DEAD…AND NOW HER FACE?
SHE KNOWS SHES UGLY AND WHAT SHE DID WAS UGLY…AND SHE HAS THE NERVE TO ASK FOR MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES? WOW! NEVER IN HISTORY SOME ONE ASKED CAN THEY BE CHARGED FOR MANSLAUGHTER CHARGERS…STRAIGHT BULL!
OVERALL SHE HAD THE NERVE TO TEXT THE MANS MOTHER!!!
White stole money from her. She is a crackhead and i think also she have a mental problem. I think the whole situation is sad, and the victim should get justice. And this women should get treatment for drug addiction and for her mental state. Also white was no saint either, because he put put lavern through a lot so everybody have their day, and he get his . What Lavern did was wrong but white was NO SAINT!!!!!!!!!!
I am tired of hearing Mothers saying that their son are innocent and good men ……COME ON . It’s because of you that they are bad and disrespectful with women. I feel so sorry for Lavern cause she really looks like she was in an abusive life. I pray that God Bless her and her daughter .
Two wrong does not make one right, however there are circumstances in human experience when the mean justify the end; even politicians that sends citizens to stupid war make such a statement. means justify the end. There are too many macho men in the land, RIGHT? Of course, its one of those macho men that stab a woman and kill there unborn child. Many Belizean of my age group grew up without a man in the house, but they had strong mothers. The main cause of the rapid decay in our society has to with weakness in the family structure– no father image and many terribly weak mothers.
She need to claim temporary insanity, that happen sometimes to people. He didn’t deserve to die or maybe he did, when he was hurting her it was okay right, ut its not okay cause she put him to rest. Hell look at the bright side one less woman beater to deal with. I just wish i would have gotten my Ex the same way. Good for you to take back what life you have even if you have to go to jail, at least you didn’t die. More women need to stand up for themself an stop taking hits after hit.
Everyone should stop pointing fingers at Laverne. I was and a lady that was abused and no one knows what we go through with abusers. It’s not easy like what everybody say go report him ,cause for one the justice system in Belize is a joke. Second you tell some one whats going on they will say well its none of my business. We don’t know what happen behind Laverne close door. The men that abuse women are monsters and horrible. I feel for Laverne i guess she got tired and was push to the limit. I also feel for the victims family because they lost a love one. But none of us can’t sit here and judge there will be a time for that . There is his side, her side and the truth and only God knows the truth.
I think that you people just need to mind your own business. In belize people are abused daily. Abusers is not who you think .Its not always men doing the abusing – THEY ARE WOMEN ABUSERS TOO. I know Lavern situation because she is my sister… This situation is sad and affects two families. Someone child died and someone child have undergo constant abuse and endless assaults.Honesty i dont know the mother of David White or his family but i am praying for that family.I wish that they would have ended the relationship before it did get to this point. No one deserver to be abuse and no one deserve to have their child life taking away…I have never been in an abusive or hostile relationship so i personally dont know how i would have handle that situation myself. Lavern been thru 9 years of this and may have had enuff and made a judgment called that will change her future….no matter how the legal portion of this matter is settled..I know God is able to heal the heart of everyone who has been affected by this tragic situation.
i think we should help this lady just by looking at her you can tell that she was abuse
This mother did not lived laverns life, she did not know how much lavern had to put up with that stinking sob son of hers. lavern should walk away from this case a free woman., because she was physically and verbally abuse by this monster.
why didnt the mother called the police for her son after he stole and beat up lavern for years?
to all those weh d seh my ma da mi wa crak head its a best uno get uno stats str8 ka my ma no smoke crak and to david ma and who so eva weh wa my ma get charge fi murder plz dream again kaz its plain to be seen dat was self defense maybe u all can’t c bcaz ur head is too far stick up ur @$$. and Yvonne knows trow thick and thin my mom was by her son side even trow times that she was not there so shet uno !@#$%^ mouth
It is always sad when someone is killed but I tink dat Ms Lavern jus got tired of being abused. N how dear the mother talking about her son was not abusive. Each mother knows their child so stop lying!! I can understand why Lavern did what she did!!!!
