A sec­ond set of bones was dis­cov­ered on Sat­ur­day at the Port-of-Spain Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal 11 days af­ter the ini­tial find by con­struc­tion work­ers on the site on Jan­u­ary 6.

On the first oc­ca­sion, the bones were tak­en to the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre in St James by po­lice to de­ter­mine if they were hu­man or an­i­mal in ori­gin.

The sec­ond set of bones, how­ev­er, was tak­en to a fu­ner­al home in the area by the po­lice to be stored se­cure­ly, as the Foren­sic Sci­ence fa­cil­i­ty was closed on Sat­ur­days and will be open on Mon­day and the bones will be sent for analy­sis.

When Sun­day Guardian con­tact­ed North West Re­gion­al Health Au­thor­i­ty (NWRHA) act­ing Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Of­fi­cer Sal­isha Baksh, she said "The test re­sults had not come back yet on the first set of bones, we're still await­ing those re­sults.

"I made en­quiries af­ter your call (on the sec­ond set of bones), I re­ceived a re­port that two bones were found, they did not ap­pear to be hu­man, but they were re­moved and sent for test­ing."
