The two men, whose body parts were found in garbage bags in a stream in Cunu­pia on Mon­day, are yet to be iden­ti­fied by rel­a­tives.

Guardian Me­dia un­der­stands their re­mains were not tak­en to the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre, St James, yes­ter­day. It is, how­ev­er, ex­pect­ed that they will be turned over to of­fi­cials to­day.

The grue­some find just af­ter 1 pm on Mon­day at Mon Plaisir Road, sent shock­waves through po­lice and the pub­lic alike, as news spread that the men had been gut­ted, cut up and dumped.

One of­fi­cial re­marked that the find, which filled three body trays, re­sem­bled that of, “a poul­try shop-style killing.”

The body parts, en­trails and heads of the two vic­tims were found in garbage bags that were dumped in the ravine, in an area com­mon­ly re­ferred to as Cam­po.

The re­mains were al­leged­ly dis­cov­ered by a man who claimed to be pick­ing flow­ers for a Di­vali pu­ja.

While the iden­ti­ties of the two vic­tims were yet to be de­ter­mined up to yes­ter­day, they were be­lieved to be two men re­port­ed miss­ing in the Cen­tral dis­trict on Sat­ur­day.

One of the vic­tims was said have a tat­too on his chest, while there were no vis­i­ble mark­ings or tat­toos on the sec­ond vic­tim.
