The "devil" came to Thibodaux Sunday, Jesslyn Lirette said, and he did so in the form of the man she was with for 10 years. The devil, she said, took her "angel" away.I'm sick at heart and hardly have words for this story. If you read the entire article, it seems there were so many signs along the way that the family needed help, and had someone or some agency intervened, the tragedy may have been prevented.
Jeremiah Wright, 30, Lirette's live-in boyfriend and the father of their child, 7-year-old Jori Lirette, is accused of killing the boy and dumping his dismembered body outside the West Seventh Street home the three shared.
Jori loved his father more than anything, Lirette said.
"He still killed him," she said. "He killed my baby."
Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
UPDATE: A further update from the Daily Comet, with more unspeakably gruesome details on the killing.
