In August, the Office Director of Public Prosecutions had recommended that Rawlins be charged with Candy’s murder, when or if he is arrested.

It was reported that Candy was discovered dead by neighbours at 08:45 hrs, after her 11-year-old daughter, who had been tied to a chair with her mouth taped, managed to escape and raised an alarm.
