On May 20, 2021, what should have been the safety of home became the scene of an unthinkable tragedy. Catherine Jackson, just 33 years old, was brutally killed by the one person she trusted most — her husband.

Driven by a false and paranoid belief that Catherine was practicing “voodoo” against him, Samijo Hemans descended into violence. There was no proof, no threat — only fear warped into deadly delusion. In a horrifying attack, he struck Catherine repeatedly with a metal pipe, ending her life as she held their child 🤍.

Catherine was more than a headline. She was a devoted mother, a creative spirit, a woman with dreams still unfolding 🌱. Her family remembers her laughter, her love, and the future she never got to live — watching her child grow, building the life she deserved.

Hemans was later convicted of second-degree murder ⚖️. But no sentence can heal the emptiness left behind, no verdict can replace a mother lost to violence fueled by untreated paranoia.

Catherine’s story is a haunting reminder:
🧠 Untreated mental illness can be deadly.
🏠 Home should never be a place of fear.
🕊️ And love should never end in violence.

Her life mattered. Her name deserves to be remembered.
