Today, April 12th, 2024, at 07:00 hrs, a murder took place at Lot 3 Perry Street, Tucville. The victim was identified as Amaziah Hohenkirk, a 36-year-old laborer who lived at 1803 Unity Place, Festival City.
It is alleged that the perpetrator is Alicia Edmonson, a 42-year-old housewife who also resides at Lot 3 Perry Street, Tucville.
According to reports, yesterday (April 11th, 2024) about 23:15 hrs, the suspect and one of her sons, Darrel Kennedy, a 24-year-old Laborer of the said address who is a friend of the deceased had a misunderstanding over a speaker box that was damaged.
Today, at approximately 6:50 AM, Alicia informed her other son, Malakai Kennedy (a 21-year-old laborer), that Darrel had allegedly abused her. At 7:00 AM, Malakai went searching for Darrel and encountered the now dead Hohenkirk with an individual named Sean on Perry Street. An argument ensued. It took them to Alicia’s residence.
During the confrontation at Alicia’s residence, Sean (allegedly armed with a hockey stick) struck Alicia on her left wrist. Alicia then allegedly retrieved a knife and stabbed Hohenkirk once in the abdomen and once each on the left and right wrists.
Hohenkirk fled the scene with Sean, entered a motor vehicle, and proceeded to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where he succumbed to his injuries while receiving treatment.
The suspect and her son Malakai are presently in custody.
Investigations are ongoing.
