By RYAN MALDONADO, BRYAN GILMER and CURTIS KRUEGER � St. Petersburg Times, published February 5, 2002 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ST. PETERSBURG -- Dennis George Roache lived in a mobile home with no furniture. Neighbors often saw him carrying a piece of wood and talking to it. He yelled at flowers and disturbed neighbors at night by blowing a whistle and chanting things they didn't understand. Roache, 34, is schizophrenic and needs daily medication, his stepmother said. He is paranoid that pills are an attempt to poison him, so he refuses to take his drugs, she said. More than once, courts have found that Roache is mentally incompetent to stand trial for crimes. He spent time in the Florida State Hospital for the severely mentally ill in Chattahoochee. His ex-girlfriend once tried to get a restraining order against him, but a judge denied her request. About 8:20 a.m. Monday, Roache showed up with a machete at the woman's tiny house in the Childs Park neighborhood. He broke in through a window and found Monique Pennywell, 29, in the bedroom with boyfriend Gregory Shannon, 18, police said. "Hey, listen, man -- I told you to stay away from my baby's mother," Pennywell heard Roache say. Then he repeatedly swung the long blade at Shannon as Pennywell ran into the bathroom with the phone and called 911. Across the street, Tessara Jackson's 10-year-old daughter opened her front door and cried to her mother, "That man has a head in his hand." "At first, I didn't want to believe it, but I saw it was a head," Jackson said Monday afternoon. When police arrived at 1635 39th St. S, Roache was standing next to an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. He had propped the head against the windshield and placed a mirror in front of it "so that if the head were still alive, it could see itself," St. Petersburg police spokesman George Kajtsa said. [SNIP] 'He's been sick' Patricia Roache, the suspect's stepmother, said her son's schizophrenia makes him hear imaginary voices. She said he told police he heard on the radio Monday morning that the man staying in Pennywell's house was sexually abusing her children. "We knew that he's been sick, and we called the police to have them do something to help him. The response we got was that if he doesn't hurt somebody or himself, they can't do anything about it," Mrs. Roache said. "He said everybody's trying to get him to take drugs. He feels that way about his medication, that everybody's trying to tranquilize him." Roache moved to St. Petersburg about 11 years ago from Montego Bay, Jamaica, leaving behind a wife and a child. Since then, Roache occasionally has stayed with his father and stepmother in St. Petersburg, the stepmother said. Once he threatened to kill his father, she said. ===== http://www.wtsp.com/news/2002_02/04_machete.htm Man charged with using machete to decapitate teen ST.
