When they spoke a week ago, producer Clifton ‘Specialist’ Dillon had no idea that would be his last conversation with his 25-year-old daughter Anuska Dillon.
Following her gruesome murder on Thursday, Specialist says he is still trying to come to terms with what happened.
“I am coping. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. I wish it didn’t have to happen, but there is nothing I can do,” said Specialist, who is the former manager of dancehall superstars Shabba and Patra, and who currently manages OMI.
Anuska Dillon, 25, was murdered on Thursday by her 26-year-old boyfriend, Clifson Cerve, who later killed himself.
Reports are that Anuska, who was five months pregnant, was shot in the head by her boyfriend in the presence of her five-year-old daughter at her apartment in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Later in the afternoon, Cerve also killed himself after he was cornered by police.
EDUCATED LADY
Specialist described his daughter as a “very educated, beautiful person”.
“Any challenge I give her she conquered them. She makes things happen, she’s a go-getter,” he told The Gleaner.
“If she had a problem you would never know. She was cool, always jovial, always laughing and liked to dress up.”
He added that his granddaughter also bears some similarities to her mother.
“She is doing okay… five years old, going to six, and see somebody kill her mother, it would never be normal. She’s very smart just like her mother so she knows exactly what’s going on,” Specialist said, adding that family members are dealing with the death in their own way.
While arrangements have already been made for Anuska’s funeral, set to take place in Florida this Saturday, many questions still linger, as Specialist says he wishes the killer, Cerve, did not kill himself as well.
“I don’t wish death on no one. Not because he killed my child means I wish death on him. I wish it (murder-suicide) didn’t happen, period. If you kill somebody, you should not be a coward and kill yourself. Let us know why. How can you kill someone who is pregnant with your child? I wish he didn’t kill himself so at least I would know something,” Specialist toldThe Gleaner.
