Cuban national chopped to death, mother hospitalised; stepfather arrested

A  21-year-old female Cuban national, Davely Morales, was hacked to death and her mother hospitalised after they were attacked this morning at an apartment in Kitty, Georgetown.

The suspect, Wispriey Alfonso, a 40-year-old Cuban national and the stepfather of the now-dead young woman, is presently in Police custody assisting with the investigation.

Based on police reports, Morales, who worked as a sales representative, travelled to Guyana about a month ago with her mother, Milaysi Rodrigues, a 38-year-old Cuban national; her nine-year-old sister; and the suspect. They rented an apartment at Lot 56 Pike Street, Kitty.

At about 07:00hrs today, another tenant in the apartment building heard a female screaming. He then exited the apartment and observed that the door to the victims’ apartment (Apartment #1) was open and the suspect was standing over his wife, who was lying on her back in the living room, and assaulting her with a ‘chopper’.

The neighbour also observed Morales lying beside her mother with chop wounds about her body in a pool of blood. The injured young woman then got up and ran out of the apartment, but collapsed through the ‘walkway’. The suspect then ran out of the building.

Emergency Medical Technicians from Central Fire Station responded, and Morales was pronounced dead by a Doctor from Georgetown Public Hospital. The injured mother was escorted to the hospital, where she is presently seeking medical attention. She sustained several chop wounds on her body. Her condition is listed as serious.

The body of the deceased was examined, and chop wounds were seen on her hands, the back of her head, and jaw. The body was escorted to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, awaiting a post-mortem examination.

Meanwhile, the suspect walked into the Kitty Police Station with the chopper in hand. He was arrested and placed into custody. The chopper had what appeared to be blood stains.
