woman. He was not required to plead to the capital offence of murder.
Morrison is expected back in court on June 29.
An autopsy conducted on Thomas, a former employee of Professional Guard Service (PGS) proved that she died from manual strangulation and also suffered blunt trauma to the head. Some of the bones in the woman’s neck were broken. She also had a broken thumb.
It is alleged that the woman was killed by a drug addicted boyfriend who requested money from her. It is believed that the woman was killed when she refused to give up her money.
The victim was found dead in her apartment on Saturday last. It was reported that some of the woman’s colleagues had visited the premises and observed that the front door was slightly open.
After calling and getting no answer, they entered the apartment and saw Thomas motionless on her bed with marks of violence on her body.
