Vermont homeless shelter employee 'butchered' with ax by resident: police
Fox News ^ | 4/06/23 | Chris Eberhart

A homeless woman "was wiping blood off of her hands with a paper towel" after she allegedly killed a homeless shelter coordinator with an ax, police said.

Zaaina Asra Zakirrah Mahvish-Jammeh, a 38-year-old resident of Morningside House shelter in Brattleboro, Vermont, wanted to talk to Leah Rosin-Pritchard, a 36-year-old social worker, in the living room, according to a probable cause affidavit.

Responding officers, who reviewed security footage, said Mahvish-Jammeh and Rosin-Pritchard were out of the camera's view, but they heard a "muffled" conversation before the "thudding and screaming started," the affidavit says.

The two women entered view of the camera, which allegedly caught Mahvish-Jammeh attacking Rosin-Pritchard with an ax that she bought a day earlier for $33.69, according to the affidavit.

**SNIP**

Rosin-Pritchard suffered injuries to her head, face, neck and torso that made her "unrecognizable," the witness said.

After attacking Rosin-Pritchard, Mahvish-Jammeh then turned to another employee and said, "I like you. It's Leah I (sounds like didn't like or don't like). I like you," the affidavit alleges.

"Mahvish-Jammeh (named as ZMJ in the court documents) then takes a knife from the sink and continues to attack Rosin-Pritchard while she lay there on the ground before (continuing) to use the ax."

She took off some of the bloody clothes and carried the ax around the first floor, according to the affidavit.

Get a load of this...

Per the above, the perp was originally charged with 2nd degree murder, but the charge was upped just before the hearing.

Mahvish-Jammeh appears to be an immigrant from West Africa. Naturally, no media has speculated on her immigration status. A significant portion of the Black population in New England is African “refugees” brought to America using federal tax dollars. Many now live off welfare at tax-payer expense. Jammeh is most common in Gambia, a predominantly Islamic West African nation.

Earlier this year, an Ethiopian immigrant savagely hacked a woman to death with a manchette in a rural area of Ohio.

Must have been preparing dinner!

Responding officers [...]

I thought that, after defunding the police, only social workers were supposed to respond to incidents like this?!

A social worker could have defused and de-escalated the situation!

Oh, wait... The victim here was a social worker, you say?!

Regards,

More on the perp, including a pic, here...

And the perp had already been a problem at the shelter.

Looks like nothing was done about that.

Gee, I wonder why?

And they want to disarm us to make such horrible crimes easier on the ones they are bringing in to kill and replace us.

Good luck with that!

The future murderer (nobody knows if she murdered anyone in her homeland before she came here) was interviewed by the press in a “ man on the street” type interview. How is it reporters always gravitate to the crazies for opinions?


...
The mayor wants everyone to continue wearing masks when they are around people who aren’t in their household, or if they cannot socially distance in public.

By doing this, he believes it will help bring us closer to a life similar to times before COVID-19.

“With the diligence that our citizens have shown ever since April 2, we can continue to do very well in this region and hopefully get back to something normal,” Read said.

The idea of wearing a mask for the next few months seems to sit well with some people.

Zaaina Mahvish-Jammeh a resident of the city of Plattsburgh spoke on why she supports the masks.

“The reason why I support it is because I’m into masks in my lifestyles, in my personal lifestyle,” they said. “I like to get along with it. Especially if it’s handmade, I think it’s really cute.”

She is safety-concerned, for one thing- she even wore safety glasses to the murder.

I wonder if the weapon used is actually a hatchet, the last big “AX” story turned out to be a hatchet.

Today everything is inflated with cussing in headlines and articles, inflated descriptions, hatchets become axes, and pistols become assault pistols.

Remember when Cuba opened its jails and dumped everyone except political prisoners on us during Carter’s time?

I think since then the leftist activists have probably been making deals overseas with various regimes to do them the favor of providing an outlet for getting rid of their criminal and mental hard cases by forming boatloads and caravans of these people and sending them to the US as illegals. The left then uses them to create chaos and misery to undermine local law and order and justify more centralized control and ultimately, nationalized police.

The other staffers, being unarmed, only looked on and shouted “stop” while she was committing murder, because she was armed with the axe and knife.

The one resident interviewed described it as a hatchet.

A hatchet, like a tomahawk, in nimble hands is a more effective weapon for killing than a heavy, cumbersome axe.

38 bucks seems a bit high for an axe but hatchets very quite a bit in style and price.

I’m well aware of hatchets, including military use of fighting hatchets, but with today’s more flamboyant information and conversation styles, hatchet isn’t grand enough so ax is used instead, as in “Axe Murderer”, I guess it is sexier, and sounds more horrible than hitting someone with a little hatchet.
