39-y-o boyfriend charged with pregnant teen’s murder
The boyfriend of Jadene Gayle, the pregnant teen who was found dead in St Mary earlier this month, has been been charged with her murder.
Labbede “Chubby“ Carr, a 39-year-old bus driver of a Mountain View address in St Andrew, was charged Saturday following a question and answer session in the presence of his attorney. Carr had been taken into custody as the prime suspect.
The body of 16-year-old Gayle was found near the Devon main road wrapped in a blue tarpaulin by residents who alerted the police. There were reportedly signs of strangulation and multiple abrasions on her body.
