Everton Biddersingh and Elaine Biddersingh

Melonie: Last Thursday a jury found Melonie father Everton Biddersingh guilty of first-degree murder in her death, according to Toronto Star. Police say he and the kids’ stepmom starved, brutalized and killed Melonie, stuffed her body into a suitcase and set it ablaze. I landed in heaven; they lived and died in hell. Melonie was never reported missing, and it would be 17 years before the case was solved. For nearly 10 weeks, Opal and her daughter Racquel watched the slow, often gory journey towards the justice they had pleaded for on that first day the Star interviewed them. Elaine Biddersingh faces the same charge in a murder trial next April. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
