French Quarter:--- The mother and daughter who attacked Cecilia Henry on Monday evening and stabbed her to death on the French Quarter main road were arrested by the Gendarmes late Monday night. Several residents in St. Georges expressed outrage at the killing and arrest of the two suspects identified by neighbors as Imelda Reysil and Carrel Vicente.The residents said the victim in this case is Carrel Vincente an employee of Blue Point. The neighbors said Henry was in the habit of beating Vicente and that her mother had to accompany her everyday to take a bus to go to work.
They said just last week Vicente had to be hospitalized because Henry allegedly attacked her and hit her on the head. The St. Georges residents said the mother and daughter who lived alone in an apartment in St. Georges filed numerous complaints with the Gendarmes to no avail. They said Monday night's attack was one too much and the mother and daughter just flipped and took the law into their own hands. "If the Gendarmes had done something with the complaints filed by Imelda and her daughter this killing would not have taken place. Just the other day a fisherman was attacked and stabbed by the Henry and law enforcement did nothing. Besides that, Cecilia used to invade people's homes and steal their belongings," one angry resident said.
Another resident said that the killing on Monday night destroyed the lives of two people who were going about their lives as decent and hard working people who now have to sit in prison for a troublemaker. "The killing in this case could have been avoided if Henry was arrested for the attack last week on Vincente and the fisherman another neighbor said.
Cecilia Henry was attacked by the mother and daughter around 7:30pm by the two suspects who stabbed her multiple times. Henry died on the spot.
