She said something bad happen to my mother and she wants her (Belle) number. When I give it to her she promised to call back.”The woman explained that her friend who lives in the same area as her mother called her within five minutes and informed her that her mother was murdered by her Bajan estranged husband.Duncan said that she was in shock and that her daughter (Belle’s granddaughter) had to call her father in Barbados to confirm what they were told.“He called and tell us it’s true and the guy (Belle’s lover) called and told us what happened. He said they had just arrived at his place and a little after they heard him (suspect) calling for ‘Brenda, Brenda open the door’ and after they didn’t answer he went to the back and start breaking the windows.“When he reached into the house, the place was dark and she (Belle) and her friend panic after they see him with the cutlass and they run outside and tried to jump a high fence,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping,” Belle’s daughter explained to Kaieteur News yesterday.She added that her mother’s partner told her that he succeeded in climbing the fence but because of Belle’s weight, he was unable to lift her over.“He said that she was too heavy and she told him to go and leave her and she will try to calm their attacker down. (Her mother’s lover) said within minutes he heard Belle saying ‘Ow (suspect’s name) don’t kill me.”Duncan said after her stepfather committed the act, he ran away. By the time, Belle’s partner rushed to her, she took her last breath.Her partner however identified the murderer to the police but when he took investigators to the house where Belle and the suspect once shared, it was already in flames, the suspect had already consumed the poisonous substance and was in the hospital.“Last Saturday afternoon, she was drinking with some friends downtown, when they had a little quarrel. Soon after he took out a knife and started to fire some stabs and she got one stab by her underarm. It wasn’t anything bad, it just carried about two stitches,” Paula Duncan said yesterday.Taylor began residing in St Barnabas, St Michael, Barbados just over 15 years ago. She was married to the suspect, a Barbadian national, for the past 12 years but separated four years ago. |
