…I didn’t mean to kill him

Rehannah Trotz, 39, of Kwakwani Water Front Upper Berbice River is now in custody for killing her reputed husband Quinn Ferrier, 44.  After her arrest, yesterday, she told detectives that she and Ferrier, a chain saw operator, were living together for the past six years. They had no children together but they shared the home with three of Ferrier’s children and her five.
She reportedly stabbed him on the air strip road.
Trotz said that she left the children with her husband and went to Georgetown to purchase clothing for her one of her daughters’ wedding, on Monday.
She said that she returned home on Thursday around 17:00 hrs and Quinn was not at home. Around 20:00 hrs Trotz claimed that Quinn called her via cellular phone to inform her that he was drinking by his friend Mark McLean.
It was late and the family retired to bed. Around 03:00 hrs yesterday, Quinn called again asking her to meet him at the airstrip road a short distance away from their home.
She said while she was on the air strip road she saw Quinn pushing his bicycle in company of McLean; they both appeared drunk. An argument ensued between herself and Quinn and he dealt her a slap and chucked her to the ground.
She said that she then heard Quinn telling McLean that persons have been telling her (Trotz) that he (Quinn) was enjoying the services of Mc Lean’s female neighbour.
Trotz said that Quinn was advancing to attack her again when she noticed a knife on the ground and she stabbed him once to the chest. He fell to the ground and was assisted by McLean to the Kwakwani Hospital where he succumbed a while after.
McLean reported the matter to Kwakwani Police Station and Trotz was arrested. She remains in custody.
