Marcyn King to be buried today

Marcyn King, the Rentokil employee and mother of three who was shot and killed while on her way home from work on Monday night, will be laid to rest today even as the police have found no tangible clues as to who her assailant might have been.

The woman’s death has elicited widespread condemnation. A police source told this newspaper yesterday that while the police are following several leads, no arrests have been made.

King’s relatives told this newspaper that they have also not heard anything new from the police in this regard.

King was walking home after work on Monday night when a brown car drove up beside her and a man disembarked and fired two shots, which hit her in the chest.

One perforated her lung and damaged her liver and the other was lodged in her back, a post-mortem examination has since revealed.
