The night before Princes Town mother Natasha Williams suffered a horrid death along the Uriah Butler Highway on Wednesday, she told her cousins if she died to ensure her nine-year-old daughter Kaylee inherited everything she owned. For her cousin, Ancel Shoy, it seems that her death was foretold as he said Williams, 31, a single mother, had been promoted to manager of KFC’s Princes Town outlet, where workers had threatened her with obeah.
Speaking at their Pierre Street home yesterday, 23-year-old Shoy said: “She was talking to my sister, telling her if she went anywhere and anything happened to her in life, make sure her child got everything she owned, not her family. “She wanted her child to get all her benefits and we are working on that to make sure her child gets everything so she can have a good future. My sisters are going to see about Kaylee. “She was a girl who was ambitious, never disrespectful to anyone. She was always on her way up. I don’t want to think anyone sent something for her but three weeks ago, she turned manager and she would come home many nights complaining she had fallen out with workers. “She said some of them did not like her. There was jealousy and people would say that they would work obeah on her. It is something to think about now because there were six other people in that accident and she alone died.”
He said Williams had problems at her family’s home in Rio Claro so she came to live with them some years ago. He said she was adopted into the family as a sister and Kaylee was treated like everyone’s daughter. Shoy explained that Williams attended a meeting in Port-of-Spain on Wednesday and was supposed to meet his sister, Rachel, at the San Fernando/Port-of-Spain taxi stand to travel home together. He said Williams decided to leave early and that was when she died in the five-vehicle smash-up in Chaguanas. He said before the accident, Williams was exchanging messages on WhatsApp with one of her colleagues and when she stopped responding, several calls, which were unanswered, were made. When the colleague answered a call from Williams’ phone, it was the police calling to say that she was dead, he added.
