The funeral service for 25-year-old Khyhymn Campbell, whose mutilated body was recently found in an igloo inside a parked car along the Winston Jones Highway outside Mandeville in Manchester, is to be held today.
The service will be held at 1:00 p.m. at the True Vine True Holiness Ministries where the deceased woman's father ministers, on the same highway where she was found dead.
In reference to the funeral, Bishop Dr Amos Campbell, the father of the deceased, told Loop News that, "The post-mortem was very difficult for me. It said something about her throat being slashed... We will be burying her on Sunday."
Interment is slated for Oaklawn Memorial Gardens in the parish.
The body of the young woman was found on the back seat of the abandoned car on August 28. The police report that her nude body was found with what appeared to be cuts to the back and front of the neck and face, and the throat was slashed.
Seventh-day Adventist deacon, Linton Stephenson, 59, who was on parole after serving time in prison for killing his wife, was the main suspect in relation to the crime. However, while he was being sought by the police, the deacon's partially decomposed body was found at the house in which he resided at Bloomsville Circle in Mandeville. He is believed to have committed suicide.
Young Campbell, who had reportedly left her family home for some time, had reportedly been seen in the company of Stephenson prior to her death.
I was also reported that the car in which the body was found, belonged to Stephenson, and police investigators later found violence-related evidence, including blood, at Stephenson’s home.
