In­ves­ti­ga­tors are ex­pect­ed to re­turn to Pro­duc­tion Dri­ve, Sea Lots to­day – fol­low­ing the dis­cov­ery of hu­man bones in the swamp which bor­ders the com­mu­ni­ty.

Of­fi­cers from the Besson Street Po­lice Sta­tion led by Sgt Ram­per­sad along with PCs Clarke and Pierre – as well as Sgt Seecha­ran of the Homi­cide Bu­reau went to the area re­ferred to as Dog Is­land around 3.30 pm yes­ter­day.

Act­ing on in­for­ma­tion and ac­com­pa­nied by of­fi­cers from the Spe­cial In­ves­ti­ga­tions Unit, the Ca­nine Unit, and the Guard & Emer­gency Branch – of­fi­cers trekked a quar­ter of a mile in­to the man­grove which runs along­side the Gulf of Paria.

Forced to wade through pig fae­ces and en­dure sand­flies and mos­qui­toes as they searched for the al­leged hu­man re­mains – the par­ty of more than 20 were sur­prised to dis­cov­er the macabre scene as they found hu­man bones strewn across the man­grove.

In ad­di­tion, law­men al­so saw the re­mains of a body hang­ing from a tree.

A dark coloured jer­sey which con­tained what ap­peared to be a hu­man skull with bul­let holes was found.

The Dis­trict Med­ical Of­fi­cer vis­it­ed the scene and or­dered the re­moval of the bones to the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre, St James.

En­quiries are con­tin­u­ing by Re­gion 1 Homi­cide.
