Coudray’s daughter goes missing in Jamaica
Published: Monday, June 11, 2012Radhica Sookraj

The daughter of San Fernando mayor Marlene Coudray has gone missing in Jamaica, just days after leaving T&T to take up a job on that island. Michelle Coudray, a 38-year-old mother of three, left Trinidad on May 31 to take up a teaching position at Cornwall College in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

According to her Facebook blog, she last posted a link to a friend on that day. She has not been seen since early June when it is believed she went out with someone. Friends who passed by Michelle’s apartment in Montego Bay said it is locked up.

Mayor Coudray did not respond to calls last night and when the T&T Guardian visited her Ste Madeleine home, her common-law husband, former labour minister Larry Achong slammed the front door and bolted the latch. He appeared to be shaken and on the brink of tears. The Trinidad and Tobago Embassy in Jamaica issued a bulletin last night about Michelle’s strange disappearance.

Jamaican law enforcement officers were said to be investigating whether she was abducted. Minister of National Security John Sandy and Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr Suruj Rambachan could not be reached for comment last night. Michelle, a former teacher at Holy Faith Convent, Penal, has three young children who are reportedly staying with Mayor Coudray.

WESTERN BUREAU:
The search for missing Trinidadian teacher, 39-year old Michelle Coudray- Greaves came to a tragic end late this afternoon when police discovered her body burnt beyond recognition in a canefield on the outskirts of Montego Bay in western Jamaica.

The police say friends were able to identify her by using her dental braces as well as a bracelet on her hand.

Coudray-Greaves is the daughter of Marlene Coudray, the Mayor of San Fernando, in Trinidad.

It’s understood that Coudray-Greaves who lived at Cornwall Courts, in Montego Bay, recently completed a period of temporary employment as a teacher at Cornwall College and was in negotiation with the school to fill another vacancy in September.

Her landlady told The Gleaner/Power106 News that she last saw Coudray-Greaves on Thursday when she visited her to pay outstanding bills.

But she said while they were talking Coudray-Greaves got a telephone call and left.

She was reportedly next spotted early on Friday at Cornwall College, where she had gone to volunteer to help a group of students to prepare for a final exam.

And the police say Coudray-Greaves was last seen on James Street about 1:30 that same day dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a long sleeved blouse.

The missing woman, who is the mother of three children lived in Jamaica for several years and is married to a Jamaican although they have separated.

This is awful!

But the first article makes it sound like she was fresh of the boat in Jamaica. In the 2nd it reveals she had some roots there already.

Dial stands by comments
Story Created: Jun 14, 2012 at 10:50 PM ECT

Congress of the People (COP) member Nalini Dial said yesterday she had no regrets about her Facebook posts regarding the disappearance of the daughter of San Fernando Mayor Marlene Coudray.

The post has been condemned as insensitive, inappropriate, ill-timed and callous.

However, Dial said she was speaking on behalf of her animal rights organisation and not as an individual. She said her view was shared by others.

Dial said on her Facebook wall that the disappearance and possible death in Jamaica of Coudray's daughter was retribution for Coudray's treatment of stray dogs in San Fernando.

COP deputy political leader Dr Lincoln Douglas, MP for Lopinot/ Bon Air West, has asked that Dial resign as a member of his constituency executive.

Dial said on a morning talk show yesterday that she would step down after Douglas admitted he had commended her for telling the truth.

Douglas has since denied this.

Dial had not removed the Facebook post up to late yesterday.

COP slams Dial over Facebook remarks

The Congress of the People yesterday strongly condemned the statements expressed by Nalini Dial concerning the Mayor of San Fernando Marlene Coudray during this time of her deep grief.
This COP position was taken following last night's National Executive meeting at COP Operations Centre, Chaguanas.
Although the party was informed that Dial's unfortunate statements were made in her capacity as a member of the Animal Rights Organisation to which she belong and not the views of the COP, nonetheless the party regards these statements by Dial as "uncompassionate, reckless, and against all what the COP stands for."
The statement, signed by Deputy Political Leader Anirudh Mahabir, stated that the COP would like to remind the public that only statements of the Political Leader, Chairman and authorised spokespersons, are the official views of the COP.

Vice Chairman Vernon De Lima said in a telephone interview yesterday that he believed that everyone was aghast at what Dial said and he was confident that she would be dealt with by the party.
Asked whether the party would seek to withdraw the nomination which paved the way for her sitting on the board of Solid Waste Management Company Ltd, De Lima said: "Let us go to position one first," he said. "She does not speak for the party. She is not even a member of the party Executive. She is not someone delegated to speak on the party's behalf," he said.

Dial's posted an offensive and insensitive comment on her Facebook page, following news that a burnt body discovered in a canefield in Jamaica was probably that of Michelle Coudray, daughter of Marlene Coudray.

"I do believe in retribution and tonite (sic) it got proof. I know this will sound harsh, but guess who the cold heartless, uncaring b....was, who used to electrocute the poor innocent stray dogs, when she was the CEO of the San F'do Corporation? Guess whose daughter they just found dead, burned in Jamaica? I ain't God, but now I feel that, He is paying back. The sins of the fathers (mothers) will fall on the children," Dial posted.

WESTERN BUREAU:

A thanksgiving service is now underway for Trinidadian teacher Michelle Coudray-Greaves in Montego Bay St. James.

Her body was cremated today.

Among those present at the small service is her mother, Marlene Coudray, who is the Mayor of San Fernando in Trinidad and her husband, the Trinidadian High Commission to Jamaica and former co-workers at Air Jamaica.

The Police reported on Tuesday that analysis by a dental expert revealed that the burnt corpse found in a cane field in Montego Bay is that of Coudray-Greaves.

The Constabulary Communication Network said the expert was able to match dental records supplied to the police last week when the woman’s family arrived in Jamaica.

The police said they are investigating a case of abduction and murder in relation to the Trinidadian teacher.

Noting that the post mortem conducted on the burnt body was inconclusive, the police said investigators have sought the assistance of a second pathologist who will work closely with the first to carry out a further examination.

A man who was held last week as a person of interest, remains in police custody as the cops intensify their investigations.

WUT?

I guess the 2nd pathologist is just going to compare dental records with a cast and/or provide a second opinion on dna. Strange though, because if they have any doubt at all, how could they release a body to possibly the wrong family???

Bakes · « **Reply #15 on:** June 21, 2012, 10:01:49 PM »

There is no doubt as to her identity... the post-mortem was inconclusive, meaning they haven't yet been able to identify the cause of death.

Marlene to return with Michelle's ashes from Jamaica

(Story Updated: Jun 21, 2012 at 10:51 PM ECT )

SAN FERNANDO Mayor Marlene Coudray was expected to return to Trinidad last night with the ashes of her murdered daughter, Michelle Coudray, whose body was cremated yesterday in Jamaica.

Coudray was expected to return home to finalise preparations for a memorial service for Michelle, whose remains were positively identified by Jamaican police on Tuesday.

The memorial service for Michelle, 39, is carded for tomorrow at 2 p.m at the Lady of Perpetual Help Roman Catholic Church, Harris Promenade, San Fernando.

Following the service, the ashes will be buried at the Paradise Cemetery, San Fernando.

Coudray spent a week at Montego Bay working with police to identify the remains of a body found in a canefield at Barnett Estate, near Cornwall.

The mayor flew to Jamaica and handed over her daughter's dental records and submitted a sample for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing.

On Tuesday, the Constabulary Communications Network, a police unit in Jamaica, confirmed to the media that the remains were Michelle's.

Michelle, a mother of three, who had lived and worked in both Jamaica and Trinidad for the last 12 years, had rented an apartment at Cornwall Courts recently, intending to take up a teaching position at Cornwall College in September.

She went missing on June 2, and was last seen entering a taxi near the college. The body was discovered a week later.

A taxi-driver has been detained as a "person of interest" in the case for the last 12 days.

Michelle's case is being treated by police as an abduction and homicide.

I see, so the Jamaicans use the old cremation technique to determine cause of death?
