THE 26-year-old son of a woman found dead last week in the trunk of a car was charged with her murder in the Freeport Magistrates Court yesterday.

Tineko Weyne Duncombe, of Kings Road, Freeport, appeared before Magistrate Charlton Smith where he was charged with the murder of Eudelle Bevans, 52, whose body was found last Wednesday in the trunk of a silver Chevy Malibu at a junkyard in Freeport.

It is alleged Duncombe, who said he is schizophrenic, killed his mother between July 16 and July 17. According to initial police reports, officers were called to a local car junkyard on East Beach Drive where a tow truck driver had discovered the body of a woman in the trunk of a car he had been requested to move from the Queen’s Highway area earlier that morning. A man was taken into police custody for questioning shortly afterwards.
