Suzan Smith was charged on Monday by the St Catherine South police and is booked to appear in court on Tuesday. Dead is 35-year-old Stacey-Ann Smith.

It is reported that the 35-year-old victim, who worked in the Cayman Islands, went missing two days after her return to the island on January 29.

Both sisters reportedly had a dispute.

According to the police, they had received a call informing them that a foul odour was coming from a house at 601 Landport Way in Portsmouth.

The house is shared by the two sisters.

Stacey-Ann's body was found buried in a shallow grave at the back of the house, where a room was being constructed.

The police are theorising that other persons were probably involved in the murder.
