The body of a man that was buried in 2015 is expected to be exhumed today as investigators believe that it is that of a man who went missing.
Dead: Percy Johnson, also called “Crook”
Back in 2015, the body was discovered at the Hampshire Cemetery. The dead man was wearing brown Timberland boots and a black bicycle was discovered a short distance away.
However, on Wednesday last, investigators reopened the probe after relatives of a man claimed that the buried body might be that of a relative who went missing on April 13, 2015. The man, whose name was given as Percy Johnson of Lot 36 B Sir David Rose Street, Rose Hall Town, was 75 when he left home and never returned.
The missing man’s grandson, Terrence Roopnarine, told this publication that his grandfather had a pair of brown Timberland boots and rode a black Mountain bike.
In addition, a relative was overheard telling her husband “I will not allow you to kill me and dispose of my body like you did with your grandfather”.
Johnson lived on the upper flat of the house while a 27-year-old grandson and his reputed wife lived in the lower flat. They were both taken into custody after relatives of the missing man informed the Police of what they were told.
On Saturday, the couple were released on bail and were expected to report to the Police today.
