Her motive for killing her 33-year-old boyfriend in her E. 56th St. home in Brooklyn could be as old as time. \u201cThere may have been an issue of another woman,\u201d the source said.<br \/>\nBased on reports from NY Daily News, on Tuesday, Dason Peters\u2019 mother said she can\u2019t come to terms with the \u201cevil\u201d double murder and suicide that destroyed her family. \u201cMy child never said anything,\u201d a distraught Rosemund Peters told the Daily News at her East Flatbush home, a block away from where Dason and Dylan Peters died in the Monday morning carnage.<br \/>\nRosemund Peters, a nurse practitioner at SUNY Downstate, said her family barely knew their son\u2019s girlfriend, who had 13 years on the job with the NYPD. \u201cWhat she did was evil,\u201d Rosemund said.<br \/>\nShe called her son a generous soul, and her only grandson a loving and playful tot. \u201cHe was a sweet child. He wouldn\u2019t cry in church. I would call him Dilly Dill and he would wink at me,\u201d said the grieving grandmother.<br \/>\nSamuel fatally shot Peters about 8:20 a.m. Monday, cops said. The mortally wounded man fell face down in the hallway, covered in blood. Samuel then trained a 9-mm. Glock on the couple\u2019s young son and shot him in the chest. She was found in her bed, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot, with her lifeless baby on her left and her gun near her right side.<br \/>\nNo matter what was going on between the two adults, said Rosemund Peters, little Dylan would never have been cast aside. \u201cI\u2019d keep that child. I don\u2019t know why she had to kill him,\u201d she said. \u201cThe baby was the spitting image of my son.\u201d<br \/>\nRosemund Peters said she had worried about the baby boy living in the same home as a loaded gun. But her son \u2014 an MTA supervisor since 2001 \u2014 assuaged her fears. \u201cHe would say, \u2018Yes, mom, she has a lock and key for that.\u2019\u201d<br \/>\nPeters had planned to go to Guyana Monday afternoon, his family said. It\u2019s unknown if his impending trip contributed to Samuel\u2019s unspeakable violence.<br \/>\nHe was planning a two-week trip to Guyana, where he would stay with relatives and look at parcels of land for his family to purchase, said his mother, who hopes to retire in her native country.<br \/>\nHe packed a suitcase at 4:30 a.m. the day of his death and left his mother\u2019s home at 6 a.m. to go over to Samuel\u2019s apartment to pick up baby Dylan while the officer went to work.<br \/>\nThat was the last time Rosemund Peters saw her son. \u201cAs a mother, you don\u2019t expect to see your child go in such a way. If you live by the sword, you die by the sword, but my child was not that type of child,\u201d she said.
