Julie Parris
Hours
after murdering his wife and putting his son in the hospital, Patrick
Steve Parris was found hanging from a tree yesterday morning at the back
of his home.
Police reported that at about
8.30 am, relatives visited Parris’ home along Mahabarsingh Trace in
Navet. After several calls went unanswered the relatives circled the
home, where they made the horrifying discovery.
The police were notified and a party of officers from the Rio Claro Police Station visited the scene. PC Rajesh Heeraman is continuing investigations.
At about 9.30 am on Monday, police reported that Julie Parris and her 13-year-old son Timmy went to visit her 24-year-old son, Brian Parris, at Mahabarsingh Trace. Julie, 43, and Patrick, 46, were separated, however Brian and his common-law wife Lucy Faria lived at Patrick’s home.
A restraining order was reportedly in effect against Patrick due to domestic problems which he and Julie had in their relationship.
Upon Julie’s arrival, Patrick confronted her about an issue regarding their younger son. Police explained the argument got very heated, and eventually, Patrick picked up a knife and began stabbing Julie.
Her screams for help alerted Brian who, armed with a cutlass, attempted to ward off his father. Unfortunately, Patrick reportedly overpowered Brian, took the cutlass and chopped him and Faria who also intervened. Brian and Faria along with Timmy ran from the house to seek help, and alert other residents. Julie died on the scene. Patrick managed to escape, and was considered missing until his body was discovered yesterday. 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.
Speaking to reporters at the Forensic Science Centre, St James yesterday, Julie’s sister, Molie Moore, said her death and the wounding of her nephew and his common-law wife had left the entire family in shock.
“Patrick was not like that. He had his issues, and we know he had hit her before. But to say that he would attack his son and his wife like that? I did not see it coming. Not at all. I don’t know what would have triggered that at all,” Moore said.
“We will remember her as a very loving and caring person. Someone who was always there for her family. She was always smiling and very helpful, but she was the type who also kept to herself mostly. She had six sons, between 13 and 24, and she was the youngest girl out of six siblings. We will miss her greatly,” Moore noted.
Up to yesterday, Brian and his common law wife were said to be still warded in stable condition at the Sangre Grande District Hospital.
Investigations are continuing.
