Human skeletal remains have been discovered in a drain at the tailings pond located at the northeastern end of the BOSAI Compound in Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice) on Thursday.
Police have said they were informed on Tuesday by a 52-year-old male employed with Bosai as a technical services and environmental coordinator that, while performing duties, he overheard workers talking among themselves that another colleague had stumbled upon a skeleton.
Upon hearing this, he said, he immediately launched an investigation; and on Thursday, contacted a co-worker, who confirmed seeing the skeletal remains and provided the location. As such, he contacted the Police and informed them of the development.
A team of detectives then travelled with the worker to the area where the skeleton was reported to be, and
they found the remains in a drain without water. Closer inspection of the skeleton revealed that several bones were missing from the lower limbs.
The skeletal remains were collected and taken to the Pensioners’ Funeral Home, where a post-mortem will be conducted. An investigation is underway to determine if anyone had been reported missing.
