"Please don't kill me, don't kill me," the five-year-old of a slain young woman repeated over and over yesterday.

The youngster seemed quite unaware of his mom's brutal murder at her home in Queen Hill, St Andrew, yesterday morning. He, however, remembered her last words before she was killed.

Hours earlier the same words, "Please don't kill me", were not enough to save the life of 28-year-old Latoya Murdock.

Reports are that about 7 a.m., she was at her home preparing breakfast for her family when three masked, armed men entered the home.

When THE WEEKEND STAR visited the house after the crime, her grandfather said; "Dem tied me up and my grandson too and put us to lay face down for about 15-20 minutes while they carried out their job."

Murdock's body was later found in the dining hall area with her throat slashed. A torn blouse was evidence that Murdock was in a struggle with the vicious men.

THE WEEKEND STAR also understands that the men allegedly stole a playstation game and two car keys.

The gate to the premises was also chained by the men.

"I first got a call from the nanny that the men had tied up my grandfather and brother downstairs and so I called the police but when I got to the house with the police I couldn't get in because they had chained the gate. I also broke down when I saw my grandfather and my brother crying," Murdock's sister said.

The pain that Murdock's family was feeling was etched across their faces. However, her one-year-old daughter was seen playing, totally unaware that her mother is no longer around while her five-year-old son repeated what could have been her last words.

Murdock, who was studying law, was described as a jovial and outgoing person.

The St Andrew South police are conducting investigations into the crime.
