The de­com­posed body of an uniden­ti­fied man was dis­cov­ered in a ve­hi­cle in Cunu­pia on Thurs­day af­ter­noon.

Around 4 pm, first re­spon­ders ar­rived at Chin Chin Road, where they found a black Sub­aru Lega­cy wag­on parked in front of an aban­doned house. A foul stench was com­ing from the car.

In­side, the man’s body was ly­ing across the front pas­sen­ger and rear pas­sen­ger seats in an ad­vanced state of de­com­po­si­tion. The keys were still in the ig­ni­tion.

The body was lat­er tak­en to the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre in St James for a post-mortem. The ve­hi­cle was re­moved to the Cunu­pia Po­lice Sta­tion.
