Army officials released Monday the name of a soldier’s spouse who was found dead last week in the couple’s on-base apartment in Wiesbaden, Germany.
The wife of the soldier has been identified as Chevonne Talbot, 30, of Georgetown, Guyana, according to Donna Dean, a spokeswoman for the 221st Base Support Battalion.
Talbot’s husband, whom authorities have not identified, is a soldier assigned to the 421st Medical Evacuation Battalion.
German police are investigating the death, which occurred Oct. 12 in the Hainerberg Housing Area. Talbot’s husband found her body, Dean said.
A German investigator said Friday that suicide does not appear to be the cause of death, adding Talbot was either killed or suffered a fatal accident.
Africans seeking asylum in Guyana

GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) - Police said yesterday they would contact family members of four Africans who plan to ask for asylum in the South American country of Guyana to verify their story that their boat broke down on the way to the Caribbean from the Cape Verde islands off West Africa.
Police planned to hire a French-speaking interpreter to make contact with relatives, said Deputy Police Commissioner Henry Greene.
Fishermen rescued the four October 24 while their 12-foot (four-metre) sail-and-motor boat was adrift off Guyana's coast.
The young men said they had left Cape Verde and hoped to reach the French island of Martinique, a month-long, more than 2,000-mile (3,200-kilometre) voyage across the Atlantic.
Greene said police had investigated the vessel and determined that it was in disrepair. Police were also checking to see whether it had been stolen, Greene said.
Many questions remained about the voyage described by the men and their reasons for requesting asylum.
They men have been in jail nearly a week since being arrested on charges of entering Guyana illegally, their lawyer Mortimer Codette said.
The fishermen had brought them to shore and introduced the men to fellow Muslims who allowed them to stay in their homes. The four were detained when they went to immigration police to request permission to stay.
Codette said the four included Abdul Karim, 23, from Senegal; Mamoud Ba, 23, from Guinea-Bissau; Gabriel Camaro, 22, from Gambia; and Joao Manuel Lopez, 23, from Cape Verde. He said all except Lopez said they were orphans.
The men appeared healthy, were well-dressed, and had euros when they were rescued at sea, Codette said. Police seized the men's boat, which was brought to shore.
In court Thursday, the four pleaded innocent to charges of entering the country illegally.
They are to be tried next Thursday. If they are found guilty, the men could be fined and deported.
Codette said he plans to file an asylum claim next week. He said the men "said they were so well treated that they now want to stay here."
Hmmmm....I guess we'll have to see what the rest of the story is here.
The rest of the Chevonne Talbot story from Wiesbaden. She was apparently was having a bondage affair with a gentleman from the local area. When the MPs entered the place...she had a "strange" device covering her mouth. They were quote "puzzled" over the episode. So they called the German cops who walked in...declared it a bondage episode gone bad...an accident...and asked if there was a computer in the house. In less than 30 minutes they had the lover's name and were tracking the guy down. The guy would only admit that he was chatting with her on occassion, and wouldn't admit he was there in the house. But she was tied up with a scarf and he must have been the one involved. The German cops dumped the whole matter back into the MP's hands.
