Cops still seeking taxi driver

More than two months after the partly decomposed body of Creavone Thorne was discovered in a Thomas Lands trench, the police are still looking for a taxi driver who may aid in the investigation.

There have been no new developments in the case, which has been added to a long list of unsolved murders.

The woman’s body was semi-nude and swollen after being in trench for several days. It had been dumped in a section of the trench that was filled with overgrowth.

This particular area is dark and secluded at night and it has been a dumping ground for murdered persons over the years.

Reports are that around 7 am on November 27, cattle owner Sunil Persaud spotted the body while looking for a cow that had wandered off from a nearby field.

Relatives said they had last seen the 26-year-old Antigua-based woman, several nights before when she left the Charlestown area, saying “ah coming back. Ah going and mek a fine spin”.

They tried calling Thorne’s cellular phone but it was turned off. However, on the day of the discovery it was ringing out when dialled.

Thorne’s boyfriend who was reportedly the last person to speak with her was held for questioning hours after the discovery but was subsequently released.

A post-mortem examination conducted on the remains revealed that she died as a result of manual strangulation.
