Murder charge today for miner who allegedly buried slain lover near camp

Nov 22, 2018 News

Trevon Allen, the 27-year-old Sophia man who allegedly murdered his lover and buried her near his camp at Eye Lash Backdam, North West District, is to be charged today.
He is due to appear in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
The decomposing body of Patricia David, 20, was found on Thursday in a shallow grave, some distance from a mining camp in which she had stayed with the suspect.
The remains were wrapped in a net and a sheet of plastic. According to results of a postmortem, the victim sustained a fractured spine, compounded with blunt trauma.
Reports indicate that David, who reportedly frequented the interior, was slain around October 1.
Police said that a hunter traversing the area dug up the body after spotting what he suspected to be a shallow grave.
Residents had reported that they had not seen Patricia David for some time.
Police then picked up Allen, who allegedly admitted to killing David. He reportedly also took police back to the scene.
Kaieteur News understands that the suspect told investigators that he and David often quarreled. It is alleged that on October 1, they had yet another argument, and he struck her several times with a piece of wood.
According to sources, the suspect said he and David went to bed, and when he woke the following day, he found her motionless in his camp. He allegedly then wrapped her in a net and a length of plastic, and buried her some distance from his camp.
