The family of an Eastpointe mother and her young child who were killed said they hope the pair’s violent deaths will compel others to get out of abusive relationships.
Curtis Hampton was arraigned Tuesday in 38th District Court before Judge Carl Gerds III on two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the stabbings of his girlfriend, Monique Rakowski, 29, and their 13-month-old daughter, Carmon.
Hampton is being held without bond.
According to police, at least one of the times he was arrested for attacking a female companion involved Rakowski.
“It doesn’t matter if you think you have the situation under control,” said Emily Berry, Rakowski’s cousin. “If anyone has been violent toward you, you don’t know what they are capable of.
“If anything good can come out of this, let someone walk out of a situation where they are not safe.”
Family said the on-and-off, two-year relationship between Hampton and Rakowski was contentious.
Rakowskis’ family described her as sweet, but said she was also strong — fighting back during each violent encounter. They said they feared for her life.
With his head down, hand-cuffed and wearing light blue prison garb and yellow socks on his shoeless feet, Hampton on Tuesday walked into the courtroom filled with Rakowski’s family.
“It is a thought that you don’t think can really, truly happen to your family,” Berry said after the arraignment.
Hampton was hunched over and appeared to be limping. He mumbled his name and was asked to repeat it. He remained barely audible when answering questions posed by Gerds.
