Tragic Discovery: Missing St. Catherine Woman Found in Shallow Grave
Lisa-Gaye Coubrie, missing since September 28, was found buried in a shallow grave. A suspect has been arrested, leaving her family and community in shock.
The tragic discovery of Lisa-Gaye Coubrie’s decomposing body in a shallow grave in Glengoffe, St. Catherine, has left the community in shock. Coubrie, a 32-year-old woman diagnosed with autism, had been missing since September 28. Her disappearance has now come to a heartbreaking conclusion, leaving her family, especially her mother, Sonya Beverly, devastated.
Beverly described her daughter as a quiet and cheerful individual who rarely caused trouble. The news of her untimely death has shaken the family, and they are struggling to comprehend how this tragedy could have unfolded so close to home. Coubrie’s body was discovered just a short distance from her residence, buried in a shallow grave that would become the site of a heart-wrenching revelation.
Prime Suspect in Custody
The primary suspect in Coubrie’s death is a 24-year-old man who was well-known to the family. According to Beverly, the suspect had been under her care since he was 10, making the situation even more disturbing. The man reportedly turned himself in on Monday at the Lawrence Tavern Police Station in the St. Andrew North police division.
Upon his confession, the suspect led authorities to the location of Coubrie’s body. The police believe he played a direct role in her disappearance and subsequent death. His motive, however, remains unclear as the investigation continues.
A Community in Mourning
The discovery has sent shockwaves through Glengoffe, a quiet community in St. Catherine. Neighbours, friends, and extended family members are left to grieve the loss of a young woman whose life was taken too soon. The news has also brought attention to the vulnerability of individuals with disabilities, like Coubrie, and the need for greater protection and awareness.
Sonya Beverly has expressed deep sorrow over her daughter’s death, noting that Lisa-Gaye’s autism made her more trusting and, perhaps, more vulnerable to manipulation. She shared that the suspect had lived with them for many years, making this betrayal even harder to bear.
Call for Justice
Authorities continue their investigation, with Coubrie’s family and the community calling for swift justice. They hope that the legal system will ensure the responsible party faces the full consequences of their actions. Coubrie’s case also highlights the importance of community vigilance and support for vulnerable individuals, as this tragedy may have been preventable with more awareness.
