Joseph appeared before Magistrate Sunil Scarce, on Friday and was subsequently remanded to prison. He was cautioned not to enter a plea, since the charge was indictable.
According to a report, Joseph killed Benn sometime between Monday night and the wee hours of the morning. Benn was discovered Tuesday morning, fully clothed, with several marks about her body in a clump of bushes near a hotel, at Charity. A post mortem examination certified that Benn died as a result of perforation of the heart due to a stab wound. The mother of two young children aged five and three years old, was laid to rest yesterday.
