Slain 15-year-old Holmwood Technical High School student, Nastacia Turner

MONTEGO BAY, St James — The mother of a murdered 15-year-old student of Holmwood Technical High School in Manchester is still struggling with the death of her eldest daughter.

“I am still unhappy,” said Latoya Reece, mother of Nastacia Turner.

Turner died earlier this year after sustaining injuries, reportedly at the hands of her cousin. Allegations are that a question of paternity led to the youngster being bullied by her father’s niece, along with Reece’s calls for intervention falling on deaf ears.

The 16-year-old girl accused of the crime was charged recently with manslaughter, confirmed Deputy Superintendent of Police Winston Milton, the commanding officer for Trelawny. Her first court date was last Monday.

However, Reece told the Jamaica Observer that she is still struggling with the loss of her daughter after her senseless killing in their Mendez Town community in Trelawny on Tuesday, March 14.
