A missing person report was filed for Walker on February 2, and an investigation was launched. The following day, a body was found in a barrel on Industrial Terrace, and Walker was officially pronounced dead. Further investigations led to the arrest of the three women.
On February 5, the police conducted a targeted raid at a premises on Mark Lane where Anita Vanzie was found in possession of Walker’s credit card. Bennett and Williams were apprehended on Oxford Street, and the three were charged in question-and-answer sessions in the presence of their attorneys.
