Cuban woman hacked to death in Pike Street home

– stepfather in custody; mother hospitalized with serious injuries

A 21-year-old Cuban national was brutally killed and her mother seriously injured in what police are treating as a domestic homicide at Pike Street, Kitty, Georgetown early Friday morning.
The deceased, Davely Morales, was a sales representative residing at Lot 56 Pike Street, Georgetown, along with her mother, nine-year-old sister, and stepfather, 40-year-old Wispriey Alfonso, who is now in police custody.
According to police, the incident unfolded around 7:00h on Friday, when screams were heard coming from Apartment #1 of the building.

A tenant told investigators he rushed out to find the apartment door open and witnessed Alfonso allegedly assaulting Morales’ mother, Milaysi Rodrigues, with a chopper. Morales was seen lying beside her mother in a pool of blood, bearing multiple chop wounds.
Despite her severe injuries, Morales managed to get up and run from the apartment, but collapsed in the walkway. The suspect reportedly fled the scene shortly afterward.
Emergency Medical Technicians from the Central Fire Station responded, and Morales was pronounced dead at the scene by a doctor from the Georgetown Public Hospital. Rodrigues was rushed to the hospital with multiple wounds and remains in serious condition.
Police said Morales sustained chop wounds to her hands, the back of her head, and her jaw. Her body was later transported to Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, where a post-mortem examination is expected to be conducted.
Meanwhile, Alfonso walked into the Kitty Police Station shortly after the incident, allegedly carrying the blood-stained chopper used in the attack. He was arrested and remains in custody as investigations continue.
According to police, the Cuban family had only recently arrived in Guyana, about a month ago, and had been renting the apartment where the tragic incident occurred.
Investigations are ongoing.
