Body found in trench

Cops release boyfriend, search on for second man

Police have released the boyfriend of Creavone Thorne, the woman who was found dead in a trench, and investigators are looking for a second man, ‘A’ Division Commander Leroy Brumell said yesterday.

According to Brumell, the boyfriend was recently released on station bail. While stating that no one else has been apprehended, he said that the police are looking for a second person to aid in their investigations.

The boyfriend was held following the gruesome discovery of the semi-nude, decomposing body of the Antigua-based woman, in a trench along Thomas Lands.

A post-mortem examination conducted on the remains on Friday revealed that she died as a result of manual strangulation. Her boyfriend was arrested hours after the discovery was made. He was reportedly the last person to speak with Thorne.

    I think that she was involved in more than it seems –maybe it was payback time . Getting a call late in the night –saying that she was going for a spin (maybe to seal a deal ) and the deal went bad . Lets see what comes out of the matter .Maybe another Monica Reece .

    I HAVE NOTICED FOR A WHILE NOW THAT WHENEVER THERE’S A HOMICIDE. THE POLICE ALWAYS DETAIN EITHER THE SIGNIFICANT OTHER OF THE VICTIM OR SOMEONE CLOSE TO THEM. WHY IS THAT? THAT MEANS IF SOMEONE HAS NEVER SEEN THE INSIDE OF A JAIL HOUSE AND SOMEONE THEY ARE CLOSE TO GETS KILLED THEY WILL GET LOCKED UP TO BE INTERROGATED? THAT’S TRAUMATIZING I THINK ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THAT BOTHERS ME A LOT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT.
