Sales clerk dies after allegedly given poison to drink by female lover

– family calls for full investigation as lover claims otherwise

A sales clerk is now dead after allegedly consuming a poisonous substance that was given to her by her female lover. The dead woman has been identified as 26-year-old Debbieann Blacks of Tucber Park in New Amsterdam, Region Six.
Blacks allegedly consumed the poisonous substance on Tuesday, but died one day later. She had reportedly told investigators and her relatives that the poison was given to her by her girlfriend, with whom she had severed a relationship months prior. Her aunt Joy Agard has said that, after receiving the news, she had gone to the New Amsterdam Hospital and had spoken briefly with her dying niece, who told her that the substance had been given to her by her ex-girlfriend.
“She said…at 8 O’clock she received a call from the girl, who tell she to come over. She went there, and she said they were talking and then the girl took out something from a water bottle and throw it out. The girl told her to come and taste this, and she said, ‘No, you drink it’. She said she see the girl drink from her glass because it was two champagne glasses. She said then she drank. She said they lay there, but then she started to vomit but she did not see anything happening to the girl. She said, ‘Aunty the girl tricked me and give me something to drink’.”

The alleged lover later turned up at the New Amsterdam Hospital claiming she had ingested a poisonous substance, and was taken in for observation. She was eventually admitted as a patient.
“What I want is for a thorough investigation to be carried out, because something is not adding up. Ah hear this girl (the lover) was in a store on Monday and bought two champagne glasses…”
Footage obtained from a store in New Amsterdam shows a woman purchasing two champagne glasses, a knife and a bucket, and Agard believes those purchases are linked to her niece’s death.
“What you doing with a knife and two champagne glasses? She also asked for white sheets,” Agard said.
On Thursday, police said they are investigating an incident involving the alleged consumption of poison by two females. “They gave the names as Blacks and Balinda Fraser, called ‘Bella’, of Mayor and Town Council Housing Scheme, New Amsterdam,” Agard has said.
The police have said that Fraser is claiming that she and Blacks had shared an intimate relationship for about five months, and that it ended on June 29 because of Blacks’ abusive behaviour.
Fraser has also claimed that she was asleep when Blacks awoke her by putting a knife to her neck. She said Blacks told her to let them “get over with it quickly”, and thereafter she took a bottle out of her pants pocket and told her to choose the poison or the knife. She
said she took a glass and sipped some of the suspected poisonous substance, but did not swallow it. She said Blacks did not know she had not swallowed the substance.
The investigation continues.
