Couple charged for Broadbridge murder

A Morvant couple who was detained over the weekend in connection with the murder of former museum curator Dr Claire Broadbridge was ordered charged yesterday following directions from Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Roger Gaspard.

Homicide officers probing the murder received instructions shortly before 7 pm yesterday and the two were jointly charged with the murder. The two accused, a 34-year-old joiner and his 32-year-old common-law wife of Seales Avenue, Morvant are expected to appear before a Port-of-Spain Magistrate today. Sources revealed that police received key information from an eyewitness as well as camera footage which assisted them in identifying the two suspects. Broadbridge was found at her Fondes Amandes home with her throat slit on September 2.
