A St Catherine man who allegedly confessed to killing and burying a woman who was like a sister to him has been charged with murder and unlawful burial.
He is Orlando Chin, otherwise called ‘Juckie’, of Cassava River, Glengoffe.
Chin was charged Saturday afternoon following a question and answer session.
The deceased woman, 32-year-old Lisa-Gay ‘Babes’ Cobre, went missing on September 28 and a notice was posted in the community, offering a $100,000 reward for her safe return.
The Gleaner understands that Chin turned up at the Lawrence Tavern Police Station in St Andrew on Monday night and reportedly confessed to the heinous crime.
Dressed in full black and wearing handcuffs on Tuesday morning, he led investigators to the spot where Cobre was buried in a shallow grave in the hilly community.
It’s understood that Cobre’s mother, Sonia Beverley, who had four girls, desired a son so badly that she took Chin into her Girls Town Lane home in Glengoffe, 10 years ago.
