Mother, son arrested for murder of Festival City labourer

A mother and her son have been taken into police custody in connection with the murder of a 36-year-old man with whom they had been engaged in a brawl at their Perry Street, Tucville, Georgetown home on Friday.
The dead man has been identified as Amaziah Hohenkirk, a labourer of Festival City, Georgetown. He was stabbed multiple times in his abdomen and on his wrists.

Based on reports received, at about 23:15h on Thursday, the suspect and her other son, a 24-year-old labourer, had had a misunderstanding with the victim over a speaker box. That son had been a friend of the victim.
On Friday, at about 7:00h, the woman informed her younger son about the incident, and claimed that her older son had abused her.
As such, the younger son went in search of his brother, but instead encountered Hohenkirk and one of his friends. During that encounter, an argument broke out among them, and the group ended up at the woman’s residence, where the victim’s friend allegedly hit her with a hockey stick.
In retaliation, the woman armed herself with a knife and allegedly stabbed Hohenkirk once in the abdomen and once on each of his wrists. The injured man and his friend managed to flee the scene, and proceeded to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where Hohenkirk died while receiving medical attention.
The suspect, a 42-year-old housewife, along with her 21-year-old son, remains in police custody, and are assisting with investigations.
