MAN ButCHERs POLICEwOMAN AND hangs self
An intoxicated and out of work pork-knocker went berserk Thursday , butchering police sergeant 19467 Kenisha Sheriff-Fraser, said to be his lover, in her Number 30 Village, West Coast Berbice home before hanging himself.
The body of 39-year-old Sheriff-Fraser, with her chest and stomach sliced open, and chop wounds to the forehead, left temple and limbs, was found on her bedroom floor in her West Coast Berbice home. A bloodstained cutlass was found near the body. Her killer, 42-year-old Clayton Anthony, also called “Woody”, who lived in the bottom flat, fled the victim’s apartment with a length or rope, and was later found hanging from a tree in the Village. Sergeant Kenisha Sheriff-Fraser, a mother of three, was seconded to the Registry, Renewal Firearm Licence Department as a clerk. Sheriff-Fraser and her three children together with her mother, Rebecca Barker, a Lance Corporal attached to the Weldaad Police Station, occupied the upper flat of the premises while Anthony occupied the bottom flat. Neighbors made the gruesome discovery after hearing the woman screaming and crying in her apartment. According to a police source, Fraser and Anthony were romantically involved and on the morning of her death the two were in the bedroom together when an argument erupted. Neighbors heard the woman screaming but thought nothing of it. But they became concerned and ran over to the policewoman’s house after hearing someone crying loudly.
The children had all left for school, and her daughter, who would normally sell snacks, called out to say that she heard someone screaming at the house next door and that Mrs. Carmichael should check to see if the neighbor, Fraser, was having any problems. Mrs. Carmichael recalled speaking to the perpetrator, who occupied the bottom flat of the premises, as she was making her way in to Fraser’s home. Upon entering the house, Mrs. Carmichael called out to her neighbor, but got no response. She then checked the bedrooms, and saw the nude and mutilated body of Fraser, also known as Tekie, on the floor. Mrs. Carmichael managed to raise an alarm of murder, thus attracting the neighborhood before collapsing. Other residents reportedly saw Clayton Anthony running down the steps with a rope in hand and fleeing the scene.
