Car owner who went abroad being questioned on teacher killing

Kescia Branche

The owner of the car that is suspected to be linked to the death of school teacher Kescia Branche has since returned to the country and has been detained for questioning.

“The good news is that a suspect who had gone overseas has returned and we are doing some further investigative work”, Acting Commissioner of Police David Ramnarine yesterday told reporters.

The man, who has been identified as Matthew Munroe, left the country the day after Branche’s body was discovered. He had reportedly told the police that he had left the country to attend his niece’s 16th birthday and that he had nothing to do with Branche’s death. He had also indicated that he is willing to cooperate with the police in an effort to clear his name.
