Mother of 1 brutally stabbed to death in front of 6-year-old son

A six-year-old boy watched helplessly as his mother was brutally stabbed to death on Friday evening by his stepfather, who accused her of being unfaithful.
The dead woman has been identified as Tacina Dazzle, 28, a housewife of Lot 46 Ujamma Housing Scheme, La Bonne Intention (LBI), East Coast Demerara (ECD).
Thirty-six-year-old Quincy Roache, a businessman who subsequently confessed to the crime, remains in Police custody.
According to Police reports, Dazzle and the suspect shared a common law relationship and would often have domestic issues. However, the now deceased woman never made any reports to the Police regarding this.
However, on the day in question at about 23:40h, the deceased cousin who was at her neighbour’s house was awakened by loud screams coming from Dazzle.
As such, the cousin immediately opened the door and saw Dazzle running out of her yard and onto a bridge where she collapsed and remained motionless.
Soon after the accused exited the house, went to his minibus, and shouted: “Now y’all can call the Police, I done do what I had to do.”
He then entered the minibus and drove off. The injured mother of one was picked up and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where she was pronounced dead. The body was examined and at least 13 stab wounds were seen.
The suspect later went to the Turkeyen Police Station where he confessed to killing his fiancé. He was then taken to the Sparendaam Police Station where he told investigators that he went through the deceased’s mobile phone and saw that she was conversing with another male.

He stated that this led to an argument during which the deceased picked up a knife and cut him to his left middle finger. In retaliation, he took the knife away from her and dealt her several stabs about her body.
When <<<Guyana Times>>> visited the scene, the dead woman’s mother, Allision Dazzle, was surrounded by other relatives as they were still in a state of shock.
The aggrieved mother related that while details are still sketchy as to what might have led to her daughter’s demise, she was just told that her daughter was stabbed several times and in an escape bid, she collapsed and died.
The woman explained that at the time of the incident, the now dead woman’s only child had to endure seeing his mother being stabbed to death.
“His father kept holding him but he keeps crying because he is of age and understands that his mother is dead,” she said.
Experiencing someone being stabbed is not easy, especially for a young child and as such, the grandmother is seeking the intervention of the relevant authorities to counsel him.
The devastated mother further stated that she was aware of the abuse her now-dead daughter encountered in the abusive and “controlling” relationship. She recalled that only recently, her daughter had confided in her and she had expressed interest in leaving the suspect.
Family members told this publication that the suspect was controlling and that it had gotten to the point where he had banned the now dead woman from visiting her mother, who lives a stone’s throw away.
The mother described her daughter as a high-spirited and jolly person who did not deserve to lose her life in such a manner. As such, she is calling for the man to feel the full brunt of the law.
