Two weeks have passed and no one has come forward to claim the partially burnt body of a man who was found in a drain at Ravine Sable, Longdenville. And as a result, Central Division police said they could move no further with their investigation. Police investigators said the case appeared to be a murder as the killer tried to conceal any clues by setting the man’s body alight.
Since the body was discovered on November 28, it remains at the Forensic Science Centre. An autopsy cannot be done until the body is identified. The cause of death remains unknown. Tractor operator Rennie Ramcharran, 27, of Ricky Trace, was walking home along Fletcher Road when he saw the body laying in a drain and contacted the police.
Police said the man’s face was damaged but he appeared to be in his early 20s, had a low haircut and wore no clothes on his upper body. He was wearing a red pair of denim pants and sneakers, and had a gold chain around his neck. A search of police missing people database did not match the man’s description.
