A hu­man skull was found dur­ing a search and res­cue op­er­a­tion for miss­ing Venezue­lan na­tion­al Luis To­var in Guayagu­yare Thurs­day night.

The dis­cov­ery was made dur­ing a joint op­er­a­tion be­tween the Hunters Search and Res­cue Team and of­fi­cers of the Ma­yaro and Rio Claro po­lice sta­tions.

Ac­cord­ing to re­ports, the se­vere­ly weath­ered skull was found in the vil­lage of Calma­pas around 7.45 pm with holes rough­ly 15 me­ters from the shore­line. Pic­tures of the re­mains sent to Guardian Me­dia show at least six small holes across its left side pri­mar­i­ly fo­cused on the pari­etal bone.

Ac­cord­ing to the Hunters Search and Res­cue Team's cap­tain, Val­lence Ramb­harat, Ma­yaro PC Jaikaran, PC Knights and WPC O'Con­nor were a part of the search and con­tact­ed crime scene in­ves­ti­ga­tors.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.

Luis To­var, 51, has been miss­ing since April 28 and has Alzheimer's.

The search­es are planned in con­sul­ta­tion with the An­ti Kid­nap­ping Unit led by ASP Dar­ryl Ram­dass.
