The battered body of a 68-year-old security guard was found in Le Repentir Cemetery early yesterday morning and the police have since arrested a taxi driver who they believe is the prime suspect in the crime.
The dead woman has been identified as Margaret Dawson, of Lot 158 Curtis Street, Albouystown, Georgetown, who worked for Professional Guard Services (PGS).
Dawson, who guards a private residence in Lamaha Gardens, is believed to have been attacked and killed while she was on her way to work. It is suspected that she was also raped.
