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.
THESE GUYANESE MEN NEED TO CONTROL THEIR ANGER TOWARDS WOMEN. EVEN IF YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS MARRED BY INFIDELITY BY ONE PERSON BE STRONG ENOUGH TO GET OUT AND MOVE ON WITHOUT VIOLENCE.
Too much killing.
Leave the women alone,
Guyanese men must learn to keep their hands off these women,
They dont own them, they dont love them, they think they do,
A man that truly loves a woman will not harm her,
He will treat her like a queen.
Married 45 years, never slapped or hit my Queen,
And yes I’m a good cook,
And no one will ever dish out my food, I go and do it myself.
69 and we still roll around, with steam,
You men are just COWARDS, and feel powerful when you hit women.
Your job is to provide for your Queen,
You are also just goddam LAZY.
Congrats Birdman! A Gentleman.
you give single women hope, Congrats! But I tell you, I have something waiting for them the first time they raise their hand. I do not even allow a man to raise his voice at me. Come on ladies we need to take a stand – if you’re not brave enough to “fight” back be strong enough to send them packing!
You said a mouth full and I do agree. The very foundation of a good relationship is respect. Without it, there can be nothing else. You are obviously old school and at 69 you still love and respect your queen, as you should. Wish more guyanese men can learn from this. So many of them start hitting women long before they are even able to stand up as a man and find themselves a job or do anything else for themselves. And the women stay with them because they DO NOT have the self esteem and ambition needed to get the hell up and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. So many women right in Georgetown go from one abusive relationship to another. That in and of itself is truly sad, because how does it end? MEN, THIS IS FOR YOU — PLEASE HAVE THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE WHEN A WOMAN DOES NOT WANT YOU, AND BE STRONG ENOUGH TO WALK AWAY. IF YOU TRULY LOVE HER IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU WOULD NEVER CAUSE HER THIS KIND OF PAIN.
Was that “69″ a reference to age? Lol! I totally agree with you Birdman. Can’t live together? Get out! I’ve been married 29 years and like you and yours we still roll around. Its seems our homes, schools and NGO’s need to take a second look at how we raise our male children. It is very apparent the men folk have gotten stuck in an age that has become outdated while the women have moved on. Hence, the men are fighting the only way they know how to hold on to the reins. It’s a losing battle for the men unless they change their attitudes to life and world. Patriarchy is no longer the solution for all problems, it never was!
The words of a true Gentleman. I sure hope that they listen to you.
Well said Birdman,that is the way it should be man,respect!!
I deh wid you on this one boy, but i does only dish out me food sometimes, ha ha ha, i agree wid you though.
Birdman, I am with you all the way. I was just trying to add a little humour with the question about “69.” Just like if I were to ask why “behind” and not “infront” or “next to” in your statement: Behind every successful man is a good woman. Just want you to see that even when we put things nicely it can betray the very ills in man-woman relationships. Just a bit of deconstructive critique. You have my admiration!
HELLO I DO UNDERSTAND EVERY THING U R SAYING BUT SOME TIMES A MAN CAN DO THINGS OUT OF ANGER A WOMAN SOME TIMES COULD PUSH U SO FAR THAT SOME TIMES U MIGHT AND THEN THINK AFTER.
Waiting, won’t pass judgement until killer/s known. What could force one to commit such a gruesome act?
Arnold its called “dominance”
as some people call it “jealousy”
I often said jealousy is for kids…there are no jealousy in adults….Dominance is the key word here…..If I cant have you then no other man will have you and I will make sure of that…..thats the mentality of these sick men…it happens all over the world in every country…….
well said birdman. a gentleman indeed.
want to send out condolences to the family of the bereaved this is coming from her friends in Barbados at Bridget Bar and Culb Roleexx where she worked up to 6 weeks ago sorry to hear of her demise she was not a bad person at all
You are a good poet birdman..rhyme nice…
now everything is resorted to killing. and killing in the most gruesome manner. Sooo sad! There are much different ways to solve problems or an affair gone sour. just walk away. oops, i guess that will be a too easy thing to do. easy.
hope the killer is caught.
You are the man… Birdman! You’ve shown the GY men that the only way to fly is on “the wings of love.” Thanks for letting us know that you can “spice” it up in the Kitchen and “steam” it up in the bedroom. Way to go!
Damn, she’s sexy. Why the hell did he have to kill her (yes he did…the boyenemy). With a body like that, he could’ve let her live, move on with his pathetic life. But I guess he (probably) thought if he let her live, when she returned to Antigua I’ll find her and… hmmm, he can’t fathom the thought of her with another man -
aye – control u-self Mackydog
she was sexy dude, now she is gone to her maker! Let pray for her soul.
She was physically a very lovely young woman. Man I swear when I was in my 20’s girls were not made like that. – U would’ve had competition here (LOL)
Condolences to the deceased family and friends. I am sure the live-in boyfriend either did it or caused it to be done. Either way he is guilty. May the justice be swift.
Once more I am asking – What happen to the death penalty laws??
