Jesus … the wheel. A District of Columbia police officer has been charged in the death of a woman whose body was found along with that of her 1-year-old daughter in Prince George’s County. Police say Richmond Phillips was arrested Friday and charged with one count of first-degree murder. He is being held without bond. Police on Thursday night found the bodies of 20-year-old Wynetta Wright and Jaylin Wright in the area of Oxon Run Stream Valley Park. Police say Wright had obvious trauma to her body and her daughter may have died as a result of heat exposure. D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier called the crime horrific and said domestic violence can affect the most innocent victims. Wynetta Wright’s mother knew immediately that something terrible had happened when her daughter never came home Monday night. Wright left her home in Baltimore and brought along her 1-year-old daughter Jaylin, who was at the center of a child support dispute with the baby’s father Richmond Phillips. “He called her Monday night at 10:00 p.m. or 10:30 p.m. and asked her to meet him at the park. He has not called her in a year. Why she went to meet him I don’t know,” said Wyvette Wright, the missing woman’s mother. The bodies were found late Thursday night, minutes from Phillips home. Temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday reached into the upper 90s. “I get a call two bodies in the woods. This is the last place she was seen with her baby’s daddy,” Wyvette Wright said. The source says Wright and Phillips recently had a paternity tests scheduled for Tuesday, the day after she and the child went missing. Court records show they were due in court on Tuesday for a child support hearing. Damn, was this the only way out he saw? To murder a child and the woman with whom he had an extramarital affair? People are seriously losing value for life. Sadness. Source
