(Jamaica Star) When Nadine Williamson’s four-year-old son was sent by his grandmother to giver her the cell phone because someone wanted to talk to her, he had no idea that her lifeless body was under the sheet.
The boy, not understanding the enormity of the situation, exclaimed: “No man, mommy dead,” having made efforts to wake her.
Sadly, he was correct. Police said that Williamson, 30, was a domestic worker who lived in Berry Hill, Irish Town with her two sons – a four- and a seven-year-old, was stabbed to death on Thursday. A motive for the killing has not been disclosed and neither have the circumstances of the murder been revealed.
“When me mada come back alive me a guh come back up here,” the four-year-old reportedly told relatives before leaving the yard with his father.
SHOCKING DISCOVERY
Natalie Williamson, Nadine’s sister, told THE STAR that the shocking discovery of her came after a friend reached out to their mother to indicate that she was not getting through to Nadine’s phone.
“My mother phone ring and it was one of her friends saying she’s calling Nadine phone and and nah get her. She tell my mother to tell Nadine to answer the phone,” Natalie recalled.
Nadine resides in a separate unit in the same yard with other family members.
“Mommy send di phone with him fi go give him mada. When him go up there, him a call har and she nah answer. The poor little boy then come out and seh ‘no man, mommy dead man.’ My son run off and go up there go look and then we realise seh Nadine dead. It’s very tragic,” Natalie said.
