The two sons of a slain Manhattan beautician returned to their mother’s salon today — grieving her death, and lashing out at her estranged husband who was caught tonight in Baltimore.
“I walked in here today and I saw all the blood on the walls, on the toilet bowl, on the floor,” said a devastated Davis Ramkissoon, 21, eldest son of Denise Kenny, who died in a pool of blood after her estranged husband slashed her with a knife Thursday afternoon at the D’Galina’s Center Spa on West 35th Street.
“This is where my mother spent the last moments of her life — I just can’t believe he killed her like that.”
Davis, who returned to the salon with younger brother Darion, 14, said accused killer Michael Kenny, 42 — who was caught tonight in Baltimore — had gotten into a fight with their mother the day before the slaying.
“He went through her purse,” Davis said. “I called my mother yesterday morning, and I said, ‘Ma how you doing?’ She said, ‘I’m busy.’
“She never called back and you know why — she was dead.”
According to salon workers, both Kennys came to the salon yesterday morning, but soon began to argue and finally retreated to a second-floor area, where the talk turned deadly. The workers said they heard a blood-curdling scream around 3:30 p.m.
That was when Michael Kenny allegedly knifed his wife, and, his shoes covered with her blood, ran downstairs to grab money from the cash register and flee. He was tracked by authorities through his cell phone and apprehended in Anne Arundel County sometime after 8:00pm.
” I saw all the blood under the toilet seat, and I’m hanging onto that — that’s all I have left of her,” Davis said. “She did everything to try to give us a better life, I can’t tell you how much I love her. I would give anything thing to hear her voice again. And today I have to go identify her body.”
Kenny was an immigrant from Trinidad who had a stormy relationship with her husband — who was a paroled robber, sources said — and even told her boss at the salon that she wanted to finally break off from him.
Davis said the couple married about three years ago and moved back in with the family about six months ago after completing a jail stint. “He said he needed a place to stay,” Davis said.
He also said he even loaned Kenny money from the young man’s savings account.
“He would go to Jamaica and buy drugs,” Davis charged, saying he “used crack, whatever he could get cheap.”
” I want everyone to know what kind of a guy he is,” he added. “My mother was taken from me, she was a beautiful woman. She had dreams, aspirations and goals, and now she’s dead.”
