By LAUREL V. WILLIAMS Tuesday, August 14 2012
A
male relative stabbed and chopped a mother of five to death in Rio
Claro yesterday minutes after she arrived at the home of one of her
sons. Police identified the dead woman as Judy Parris, 43, of Guanapo
Estate, Rio Claro. Parris, was employed as an attendant at KFC’s outlet
in Rio Claro.
Parris’ son, Brian Parris, who
attempted to save her life during the ordeal, and his common-law wife
Lucy Faria, were also chopped by the man. They however survived the
attack and the couple was listed in stable condition at the Sangre
Grande Hospital up to yesterday afternoon.
A police report stated that shortly after 9 am yesterday Parris and her 13-year-old son went to Brian’s home at Mahabarsingh Trace in Navet, Rio Claro, and a heated argument ensued between her and the estranged male relative, who lives nearby.
The report added during the argument, he picked up a knife and began stabbing her about the body. Her screams for help alerted Brian who, armed with a cutlass, attempted to ward off the enraged male relative. Both men began to struggle, but the relative overpowered Brian, took the cutlass and chopped him and Faria who also intervened. The couple along with the teenage boy ran from the house to seek help, and alert other residents.
The man, a gardener, then went after Parris who was unable to run away, due to the stab wounds and began chopping her with the cutlass. He then ran off into some bushes. She died in the house.
Police further said that recently Parris took out a restraining order against the attacker.
Insp George, Sgts Garcia, Knights and James and other officers of the Rio Claro Police Station visited the scene together with officers of the Homicide Bureau.
Police have since launched a manhunt for the attacker. An autopsy is expected to be performed today at the Forensic Sciences Centre in St James. Investigations are continuing.
