Young High School student. The unnamed suspect is expected to be arraignment in court on Monday. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>After an anonymous caller tipped police off, Donelle&#8217;s partially clothed, badly bruised body was discovered May 1st in a quarry pit near the Southern Cemetery, laying face down. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>According to police, the young lady was clad in a blue T-shirt with red strips. They also noted that there was a severe wound to the young girl&#8217;s head and that her entire abdomen was burnt. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>It was later reported that the young girl was lured out of a friend&#8217;s home, where she was kidnapped by several well-known young men. It is believed by friends that she was sexually assaulted and ran over by a vehicle, resulting in the severe wound to the head. However, police have not hinted as to whether these claims are true or false. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>Police said that they believed the body was in the pit earlier that morning, as the decomposition process had not yet begun. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>Speaking with The Guardian Sunday, Press Liaison Officer Superintendent Hulan Hanna said the suspect was apprehended last week and should appear in court on Monday. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>He expressed relief that the case was coming to a close. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>Attempts to reach the Cordova family were unsuccessful up to press time. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P><B>By Khashan Poitier, The Nassau Guardian<\/B><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The brutal murder case involving a 16 year-old girl may finally come to a close after a six month police investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10223285771444175_51037792744":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-239882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-headlines"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239882"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239882\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":241196,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239882\/revisions\/241196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
