Westmoreland, Jamaica (McKoy’s News) – The case of the mummified woman found in a Westmoreland house has taken another shocking twist!
An autopsy has confirmed that 69-year-old Viola Distin, whose mummified remains were discovered inside a house in Old Hope, Little London on July 6, died from a heart attack. But while the cause of death may be natural, the sinister circumstances surrounding the concealment of her body are anything but.
According to police, two women have since been slapped with multiple serious charges, including:
- Conspiracy to conceal a corpse
- Conspiracy to prevent the lawful burial of a corpse
- Concealment of a corpse
- Preventing lawful burial
- Perverting the course of justice
In a bizarre and disturbing twist, investigators say they are also seeking a Jamaican clergyman, reportedly living in the United States, in connection with the case. His role in the unfolding drama remains unclear at this time.
Sources say Distin’s remains may have been kept for up to two years, leading to growing speculation about the motive behind the alleged concealment. Was it for spiritual reasons? Financial benefit? Or something darker?
Social media has been buzzing since the news broke, with users expressing disbelief and outrage. One commenter summed it up:
“Ok, so that rules out murder… BUT to have the lady’s corpse wrapped up for TWO YEARS?! WHATTTTTT???”
The police continue their investigations, and McKoy’s News will stay on top of this developing story. Stay tuned for updates!
