IN TRINIDAD – Employees of a retail store followed the stench of what they thought was a dead rat and instead found the body of 20 year old bank employee. Two men have since been detained by police.

Shannon Banfield, was a customer service representative with Republic Bank Port of Spain. She had been employed there for three months. At 4p.m on Monday she telephoned her mother to say she would be visiting Pennywise Cosmetics and IAM and Company while she awaited her mother to pick her up. The mother told the Express that called her daughter a short while later to say she had to work late as an insurance agent, and Banfield was asked to travel home. She never left Charlotte Street, or IAM and Company, it now appears. She was found dead in the IAM top floor warehouse. Her clothing was torn. There were marks of violence. Her Pennywise shopping bags, and purse were nearby.
