Man arrested after handing himself into police over death of Jayda Allen Bonner
Police say the 31-year-old knew the woman who died, 21-year-old Jayda Allen Bonner.
First reported 1 day ago · latest update 1 day ago
A smoking ceremony in her honour has been organised for Saturday at the public housing towers in Lygon Street, Carlton, after which those who attend will walk up to Parliament House in a demonstration against domestic violence.
A GoFundMe has also been set up in her honour and has raised $4500 so far.
Jayda’s aunt Kellie Carter-Bell told this masthead that she was held captive in the unit for months and had “bite marks all over her body” before being found dead.
Six weeks ago, Jayda and her mother filed a police report about the alleged abuse she had endured, but the complaint was withdrawn.
A 60-year-old man was arrested shortly after Bonner was found dead, but was then released.
