White Mississippi officer charged with killing his Black mistress: Sister of the woman claims the officer killed her sister because he ‘didn’t want his wife to find out’

Mississippi officer arrested in the murder of a 32-year-old woman who was discovered last Sunday. Oxford police officer Matthew Kinne is facing a murder charge in the death of Dominique Clayton according to WREG. Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI) officials arrested Kinne earlier this week after investigating the killing.

The investigation revealed that Kime may have been involved in a romantic relationship with Clayton according to interim police Chief Jeff McCutcheon. Clayton’s family confirms the alleged connection. This is when MBI was called in to conduct what McCutcheon promised to be an “independent and unbiased” investigation.

“We want to assure you that we will not hide behind our badge,” McCutcheon said. “Our hearts go out to the family of Dominique Clayton. To the family, we thank you for your patience and your trust in us to see this through.”

Earlier this week, a relative of the mother of four was found lying in bed and there was a large amount of blood at the back of her head. Clayton’s sister Shyjuan Clayton, told WHBQ that Kinne was having an affair with her sister.

“She was having an affair with Matt, the police officer with OPD,” Shyjuan Clayton said. “He bought my sister a car and kept it in his name. He was about to get her a house. He just basically didn’t want his wife to find out.”

Oxford Board of Alderman reacted to the arrest by voting to fire Kinne. During Wednesday’s court appearance, Lafayette County Circuit Andrew Howorth told prosecutors and the defense that it was likely a “reasonable” bond amount could be worked out for Kinne next week. This ruling angered Clayton family in a state in which murder defendants often are denied bond.

Clayton’s family members complained after the hearing.

“They are allowing the killer to decide his bond!” Bessie Clayton told reporters outside the courtroom. “That man came through the bushes while he was on duty and walked in behind my daughter’s home, put a bullet in the back of her … head and executed her. And they laughed. They should discuss with him what his bond should be? We need help in Oxford! We need intervention in Oxford!”
