De Reveneaux to be buried today

Newsday understands that De Revenaux is expected to be buried after a funeral service which will be held at the Holy Rosary Pastoral Church of St Martin Deporres at the corner of Vincent and Brown Streets, Gonzales, at 11 am today.

Police sources revealed that homicide detectives intend to approach the DPP today, to seek instruction in De Reveneaux’s case, after arresting the main suspect in her murder.

The DPP will peruse a file compiled by homicide detectives, and decide whether the man will be charged.

De Revenaux’s relatives yesterday commended detectives on their work in capturing her suspected killer.

“In this case, I think justice was done,” said one relative to Newsday reporters. “The police officers worked very closely with us.

They were calling us on a regular basis and assuring us that they would catch her killer. We believe that the officers did a fine job. We really appreciate what they did for us.” Relatives told Newsday yesterday that, on the eve of De Reveneaux’s funeral, the family is ensuring that all members feel loved and know that they are not alone in mourning her death.

Newsday understands that on Friday, a male relative of the slain 27-year-old woman was arrested by Western Division police officers, while he was attempting to flee the country by boat. He was intercepted by police officers near Crews Inn restaurant, Chaguaramas.

According to reports, De Reveneaux was working at the Manderos Restaurant at Movie Towne, when she received a phone call.

She left her place of work to take the call, and minutes later, after loud screams were heard, her body was discovered by patrons lying in a pool of blood.

Her throat had been slit.
