VALRIE Wilson suspected that something was terribly wrong when she had not heard from daughter Febie Myrie in two weeks. But the thought of her youngest girl lying buried at the bottom of a pit alongside friend, Candice Williams, 20, never crossed the worried mom’s mind.

But yesterday as workmen used a front end loader to dig through the pit, located behind a home belonging to Williams’ baby’s father, Wilson watched helplessly.

The impact of the gruesome double murders was also not lost on residents of Taylor Land in Bull Bay, St Andrew, who waited for hours for the workmen to retrieve the bodies.

Sergeant Troy Anderson of the Constabulary Communication Network, (CCN) later told the Observer that the bodies, which were badly decomposed, had multiple stab wounds.

A post mortem had to be done on the spot.

Wilson was still in a state of shock even as she made arrangements to have her daughter’s body taken immediately to the cemetery for burial.

“Febie is me youngest daughter and she never leave me and I can’t believe that she gaawn,” Wilson said with an emotionless expression.

Wilson told the Observer that she last saw her daughter on May 29th, when the 22-year-old visited her at her home in Market Road, Port Morant.

Wilson said Myrie would, however, call to check on her two children, ages four and six.

Wilson said she started getting concerned when Myrie did not turn up to start a new job at Burger King last week Monday.

Wilson’s concern gradually turned to near panic after Myrie still did not call to check on her children.

Tired of waiting to hear any news of her daughter, Wilson said she decided to visit the home in Taylor Land.

Myrie’s older sister Julia Cole explained that they visited the house on Tuesday night, where they removed a louvre blade and looked inside the house.

“The first thing we notice is that there was no mattress on the bed,” Cole said, as her eyes fill with tears.

“This morning the other girl [Williams] little brother came over here and he start looking around.”

Cole said the young man’s attention was drawn to the fact that the backyard pit, which always remained open, was sealed shut with freshly laid cement. The young man reportedly peered in and saw the body of one of the women.

He raised an alarm.

The Kingston Eastern Homicide Team, which is investigating, said no motive had yet been established for the double murder.
