A 30-year-old City Police officer was found dead at her home at Lodge Place, East Dry River, Port of Spain, on Tuesday night.

The deceased has been identified as WPC Jaye O. Bonard who was attached to the Port of Spain City Police, Town Hall.

According to police, officers from the Besson Street Police Station responded to a report of a sudden death around 8:25 p.m. at Bonard’s residence at No. 52 Lodge Place. On arrival, they were met by a neighbour, Chima Charles, who reported last seeing Bonard early that morning while she was cooking. Concern grew later in the day when Bonard did not respond to calls or knocks on her door. Neighbours eventually peered through a window and observed a body on the bedroom floor.
