Body found in NY parking lot may be Guyanese mother of four

Jul 11, 2014 News

Investigators in New York are trying to determine whether a partially decomposed body found in a parking lot in Long Island, last Tuesday, is that of a 27-year-old Guyanese woman who went missing five days ago.

The couple in happier times.

Chinelle Latoya Browne, a mother of four, who is originally from Georgetown, was last seen by her landlord, Ms. Lea Cuevas on Saturday, near her 346 Sumpter Street apartment in Brownsville, Brooklyn.
The dismembered body was found early Tuesday in a Bay Shore, Long Island, Municipal lot. The body has not been identified as yet.
According to information received, Browne who migrated to the United States last year May had several confrontations with her landlord over an extension cord that powered her room, culminating in a fight.
The New York Daily News reported that the Guyanese native was smacked in the fight and later disappeared. Family members are of the view that her landlord had something to do with her disappearance.
Dale Browne, the woman’s husband said that at this time family members are trying to comfort each other during this terrific ordeal. He said that no detective from New York contacted him, but he is waiting on police to identify the body.
He said that around 10:00 hrs on Saturday he messaged his wife via Whats App and she responded by saying that she had just gotten up.
Browne said that around 11:07 hrs, he telephoned her and they spoke for some time. He said that they would normally keep in touch via Skype but when he called her, he got no response.
Later that day, he said that he called again but did not get a response so he texted her. He noted that he later got a text message from his wife’s phone, saying that she was going to the hospital with a friend by the name of Michelle.
“I message and asked her if she would sleep at the hospital, but I got no response. I continuously messaged the phone until Sunday and then I received a message saying that the phone was found in Manhattan,” the husband related.
Trying to put the pieces together, Browne said that he then contacted his wife’s landlord who told him that they had an argument and she (landlord) struck the mother of four with her hands.
The devastated husband said upon hearing this, he immediately telephoned his relatives in the States and asked them to check his wife’s workplace, since she was supposed to be at work for 13:00 hrs (1pm) on Monday.
“Monday I spoke to the landlord and asked her about my wife. The landlord then told me that she got a message from my wife on Sunday… but how could she message my wife on Sunday when I was not getting on to my wife and when someone told me they found her phone,” Mr. Browne asked.
The Brownes have four children – three-year-old twins Ariel and Michaela, five-year-old Jonathan and seven-year-old Gabrielle Browne. They all reside in Guyana with their father.
