THE woman who the police were trying to locate for questioning in relation to the February 5, 2015 death of 72-year-old June Archer has since turned herself in, and was placed on bail pending advice by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

Sleuths have stated that the woman had fled with her children following Archer’s death at her Lot 33-34 Stevedore Housing Scheme home at about 17:00 hours on February 5.

The elderly Archer had reportedly been embroiled in an argument about the choice of curtains with her female relative who, with her two children, had resided with her. The argument allegedly turned physical, and the senior citizen was reportedly pushed by the female relative, who claimed that Archer had cuffed her in the face.
Shortly after that incident, Archer reportedly collapsed and succumbed, but not before she had managed to telephone her son and relate what had transpired.

The younger woman and her children subsequently fled Archer’s residence, and their whereabouts were unknown until she showed up at the police station and gave a statement.

Police are awaiting advice from the DPP on the way forward in relation to the incident, since the fight may have exacerbated Archer’s heart condition and claimed her life.

A post-mortem revealed that Archer had succumbed to heart failure.
