A 23-YEAR-OLD mechanic is on the run after allegedly stabbing the mother of his 11-month-old son on Wednesday evening.The 25-year-old waitress Michelle Drennon, of Lot 1607 Cadet Lane, South Ruimveldt, was stabbed about her body, reportedly by her common-law husband Keon All. She is in a stable condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital.

According to relatives, Drennon has made numerous reports at the West Ruimveldt Police Station about the abuse she suffered at the hands of All.

“Last October she moved in with her mother because of the violence and the fights they have. Imagine when he attacked her at her home he walked with poison in a container and was slamming her head with the stuff,” one relative said.

The mother of the injured young lady, Adunni Drennon, told this publication that they will not be staying at the house until the perpetrator is caught, since they are fearful of attacks on the family.

“He brags about having police friends, we need proper security for my daughter at the hospital because he had wanted to kill her,” the mother noted.

She explained that after the stabbing incident, he has been calling the phone and pretending to be his mother, asking how Michelle is doing, “but we know his voice. He is molesting us, and the police need to arrest him.”

Her sister, Tandicka Drennon, said she was relaxing on Wednesday evening, watching television while her sister was resting in bed. She said the perpetrator visited the home and requested to speak to her sister.

“I told him she was sleeping and he went around to the window at her room and said something.”

She explained that the man then rushed his way into the home and started beating her sister, who had walked into the living room. The fight moved into the kitchen, where the perpetrator armed himself with a knife and stabbed the mother of his child several times about the body.

Tandicka said she tried to part the fight but was unsuccessful, so she ran over to neighbours for help.

“Then he ran behind us. He was on the patio pushing the door, and the only reason he didn’t get in was because is four of us holding back the door… If he was given a proper chance he would have killed her.”

She said her sister and the suspect even had a matter before the court because he had destroyed her personal property, among other things.
