Creavone Thorne, the woman whose decomposing body was found in a trench on Thursday, died as a result of manual strangulation.
Thorne, 26, of Lot 35 Lyng Street, Charlestown, was found in a trench along Thomas Lands on Thursday morning. A post-mortem examination was conducted on Thorne’s remains by Government Pathologist Dr Nehaul Singh at the Georgetown Hospital mortuary yesterday.

Stabroek News was reliably informed that when the woman’s swollen body was found, what appeared to be a belt mark was visible around her neck, while a wound consistent with it being banged against a solid subject was evident at the back of her head.

Meanwhile, Thorne’s boyfriend, who was arrested hours after the gruesome discovery was made, remains in police custody. Police went to the house the couple shared and removed items belonging to the man yesterday. According to reports, the man was the last person to speak with Thorne.

At the house, relatives were still in shock and continued to question what might have led to Thorne’s tragic death. Several of her friends turned up and recalled their last moments with her.

They also reflected on her life, which they described as very outgoing.
Relatives had told Stabroek News that the Antigua-based woman was last seen on Monday night when she told a cousin that she was going “to mek a fine spin.” Her semi-nude body was already in a state of decomposition when it was fished out of the trench halfway between the African Cultural Development Association (ACDA) building and Albert Street, opposite the National Park. The spot was in a trench outside the Guyana Sports Club ground. This newspaper had incorrectly said that the body was found outside the Malteenos Sports Club Ground, which is actually located further up Thomas Lands.

    As a young man I was taught “A MAN WHO HITS A WOMAN IS A COWARD”

    I have taught that to my children.

    The first time a man hits a woman it is his fault, the next time it is her’s.

    • good guy UNITED STATES says:

      So what do you call a woman who hits a man ? In the usa -many women hits their men and the man walks away because the justice system favors the woman (as the weaker sex) .

  3. bumpy FRANCE says:

    Almost never do I hear of justice for women in Guyana.The men of Guyana in general, apart from a chosen few,are lacking in love for their women.The question I ask, is do they have any love for their mothers and sisters?It is rightful to say that they have no love for themselves.As a man I stand up for the dignity;of my guyanese women.I have a daughter;and my cry of rage and caution to any man, who in the future even thinks of hitting her,let him think again for the jails were not built for neither dogn or cats, and I will take my rightful place within.

    Probably you were not born in Guyana

      Condolences to the Thorne family, they are good people.
      Olav wakeup!!!!!!!!!!!
      This is the 21st century.
      Women are asserting themselves at all levels in society.
      If you check the high ratio of women to men at any University, place of higher learning or church, you’ll see it is disproportionate to the population.
      Conversely, if you check the percentage of men in jails, bars, etc,,,,,,,,,,, you’ll see what ours brothers are up to.
      This is further compounded when women have travelled and exposed to more developed societies.
      Our men folk need to understand that the dark ages of the housewife has ended,
      and no amount of violence, can bring it back.
      The men are the persons that really “need to change their lifestyle and seek the wisdom of THE MOST HIGH. GOD ALMIGHTY!!!!!”

      To Olay

      A woman should be free to choose whatever lifestyle she wants to live, whether it be godly or otherwise. Whatever lifestyle she was living is no justification for her being murdered. Even christians and other religious people can get hurt the same way. God bless.

    olav,
    i hope you truly belive in god, if you know the good book
    did you read that god did not want women to be uit going, i want
    to know which part of the bible it is,
    i know god put adam and eva in this worjd, do you know why,
    because woman was made for a man, ——not a man for man, or
    woman for woman,
    how did jesus be come mariea son, you know why because god
    send gabrel to mariea, he did not send a woman, remember mariea
    was a vergin she did not had sex with josheph.
    so don,t say any thing about out going,
    she has a right to do what she wants she was no slave,
    she is bourn free., she have her right,s.
    she should not had been killed.
    i am glad when the g.p.f. find her killer and let him be hang
    and rot in hell.
    may god have mercy on her soul and she will be rebourn,
    she did not live her life in full.
    it was taken from her.
    G.P.F GET HER KILLER.
    I WILL NOT REST TILL HER KILLER IS FOUND
    I WILL ASK MY TARROT, I WILL GET ANSWER.

    Condolences to the Thorne family; whatever the circumstances it should not arrive to Death. Whoever did this should be brought to justice QUICK.

  9. blue UNITED STATES says:

    To all you negative men who think it is ok to beat and abruse women shame on you I quess you were not taught to love and respect women at home maybe Mr Birdman should teach you guy’s the lesson of manhood because you are all cowards and do not have a heart.
    If a woman want out let her go many of you are so demanding and controling that it mess up your mind stop thinking with your penis and think with your heart

  10. Olav UNITED STATES says:

    If we all change our lifestyles, we would all be better people, live longer, healthier lives, and stop the spread of Aids, amoung others!
