Decomposed Body Found in Vehicle Still Unidentified
The police are appealing to anyone with information to contact them as investigations continue into the discovery of a partially decomposed male body found inside a vehicle at the old Ottos School compound, just off All Saints Road, on Monday, February 2.
Police say the report was received via the 911 emergency hotline around midday, and officers from the CID, Serious Crimes Unit, and Forensic Evidence Recovery Unit responded and cordoned off the area, which is used as a panyard.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Frankie Thomas confirmed the discovery but said details remain limited at this stage. He noted that the immediate priority is identifying the deceased and urged relatives who may be missing a loved one to come forward.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913 or 462-3914, or any police station.
A district medical doctor pronounced the man dead, and investigations are ongoing.
