A domestic dispute ended with a 27-year-old man killing a 23-year-old mother of two.

According to police, the victim, identified as Kidley St. Breave of Quarry Mission Road, was killed Friday evening during an altercation with her boyfriend.

The incident happened at the man’s Charles Vincent Street residence.

The suspect contacted police to report the incident.

When officers arrived at the home they met a gruesome scene. There was blood on the mattress and a pool of blood on the floor of the apartment’s rear bedroom.

Head of the Central Detective Unit Superintendent Paul Rolle told The Journal that the victim was killed with a household item.

He denied rumours that she was beheaded, but confirmed that she did have a wound on her neck.

The recent homicide brings to an end a two-week lull in murders.

The murder count now stands at 76.
