Body in septic tank murder
A state witness yesterday testified that Desiree Jeffers, who is accused of murdering her common-law partner Igris Bobb-Blackman in 2011, had previously threatened to kill the man.
Taking the stand yesterday in the trial, Gale Franker, who was Bobb-Blackman’s girlfriend, said Jeffers threatened to kill her and Bobb-Blackman a few days before his body was discovered wrapped in a carpet and bound with a rope in the septic tank of his residence at Parfait Harmonie, West Bank Demerara.
Jeffers is on trial before Justice Dawn Gregory and a 12-member jury for the murder of the ex-policeman.
Franker said she knew Jeffers because they were living in the same village but she became more familiar
