LETTER: Urgent Need for Transparency | Whose Body Was Found in Swetes?

(file photo)

Dear Editor,

We are writing to express our concerns regarding the investigation into the recent discovery of a decomposing body in Swetes in early March.

As we await forensic results, it is imperative that we, the community, are kept informed about the progress and findings of this case.

The tragic loss of life and the circumstances surrounding it have left many families reeling in uncertainty. To be blunt. We need to know whether it was Orden ‘Passo’ David because we were told it could be him.

The police have stated that the victim was stabbed to death, and crucial forensic evidence was collected before the remains were buried.

However, the timeframe for receiving these forensic results remains unclear, leaving families of missing persons in anguish as they seek closure.

It has been reported that those who saw the body believe it belongs to Passo. The dead man was allegedly wearing the same attire Passo was last seen with. As we near the end of May, the urgency for answers heightens.

We are not rushing the police, nor are we motivated by anxiety, but the desperate need for closure and justice for affected families cannot be overstated.

Transparent communication from our law enforcement agencies is essential in fostering trust within the community. In the new millennium, forensic results cannot take months. We need answers. The other missing person’s family also needs to know whether the body belonged to their missing loved one.

We call on the authorities to provide updates on the status of their investigations.

Families and the public deserve to know how long this process will take and when they can expect answers regarding the identity of the victim and the circumstances of this tragic event.

Sincerely,

Concerned Citizens

  1. A question the public need answer for! It’s been far too long this body has been found and no clearance on who the body belongs to. Yes, many may believe it’s Passo but what in an instance it’s now? What if people wanted to say that because they want clarity on Passo. What if it was Keon. The authorities here are wasting time and they don’t release public matters swiftly.

  2. Someone understands the public needs answers. I don’t understand the hold up but one thing for sure it doesn’t make sense. WHO IS THE BODY? That’s what we the public want to know. And this is why we are a nation that live in fear. Cause the police can’t protect us and the government don’t care. Police sides with the criminals and abuse the innocent.

  3. The problem is not persons are held accountable, so anything goes. You think that could happen in Guyana or Dominica. We are to docile as a public, we allow thing to just be and no action.
