Mother of 1 stabbed to death by jilted lover over phone call

A 24-year-old mother of one was on Wednesday evening stabbed to death by her jilted lover after she allegedly took a phone call from a male friend in his presence.

Dead is Lunisa Peters of Lot 97 Supenaam Public Road, Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam).
Peters and the suspect had shared a common-law relationship, but she ended it owing to the constant abuse meted out to her. As such, she left his home and went back to her aunt’s house at Supenaam.
However, on the day in question about 23:30h, the suspect visited the now dead woman at her aunt’s house and he was invited in. While they were conversing, Peters’ phone rang and she answered it and upon hearing a male voice at the other end of the line, the suspect became annoyed.
In anger, he snatched the woman by her hair, dragged her into the kitchen where he grabbed a knife and took her into the bathroom where he stabbed her several times about the body.
At the house of the aunt on Thursday, Meg Matthews confirmed that her niece and the suspect were together for five years. The five years, she noted, were “hell” for her niece.

Matthews said that countless times, her niece would confide in her about the abusive relationship. After she could not take it any longer, she decided to end it.
“After the separation, he would call her on her phone and threatened to kill her… one day he came to the house and started to behave bad… the same time, he threw pepper sauce in her face and left… he used to tell she, if he can’t get her, then no one can,” the aggrieved aunt stated.
Recalling the horror on Wednesday evening, she stated that they were at home when she heard a rapping on the door. Her niece, she added, got up and opened the door to check who it was.
“She let him in and they sat down and were talking normal and same time a friend of her call from the US and she took the call… he get vex and hold her on her hair, dragged her to the kitchen, collected the knife and took her in the bathroom and lock the door,” the aunt recounted.
Matthews stated that her niece was trying to fight him off, but owing to the stab wounds she could not.
“After he was done committing the act, he walked out of the bathroom and she followed with blood all over her skin and collapsed… he then walk to the sink, wash out the blood from the knife and walk out… by the time I scream for help, she was already dead,” Matthews recalled.
The Police were summoned and upon arriving at the scene observed the motionless body of Peters lying on the floor. Detectives stated that there were several stab wounds to the victim’s head and body.
A knife and a rolling pin with blood stains were taken as evidence.
Peters’ body was taken to the Suddie Hospital Mortuary to await a post-mortem. The suspect was subsequently arrested and he is assisting with investigations.
Meanwhile, Peters was originally from Kwebaba Village, Region One (Barima-Waini) and as such, her aunt is appealing for the public to assist them in having her body returned to her home village. Anyone who wishes to assist the family can contact them on phone numbers 670-3002 or 668-7794.
