Woman fatally stabs abusive partner

Jul 30, 2017 News

A woman, tired of being abused almost daily, fatally stabbed her partner around 21:30 hrs on Friday at Queen Street, Kitty.
Devon Ali died around 11:00 hrs yesterday at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. He was stabbed to the chest. Lisa Hayley, a mother of two, has been detained at the Kitty Police Station.
The woman told the police that she and the deceased have been together for the past three years. During that time, she had been abused frequently.
According to reports, Hayley was forced into prostitution by the deceased who would usually take away whatever cash she made.
Last week, the duo got into a heated argument and Hayley claimed that the suspect beat her and threatened to kill her. Tired of being abused, she moved from her Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara (EBD) home and went to stay with her brother in Kitty.
Last night, Ali reportedly turned up at the woman’s home and demanded to talk to her. “Her brother told him that she wasn’t there,” a source said.
The woman was at the time entering her brother’s yard. The deceased spotted her and reportedly attacked her with two knives.
This newspaper was informed that during the process, Hayley managed to get her hands on one of the knives and stabbed her abusive partner.
The woman told the police that she had no intention killing the father of her two children but she was simply trying to protect herself.
Investigations are ongoing.
