Human skeletal remains were discovered in a clump of bushes in the compound of an abandoned school at Vryheid Road, Savannah Park in New Amsterdam on Monday morning.
Undertakers removing the man’s body found Friday last
The discovery was made by a contractor who had gone to carry out repair work to the school building, which had not been used since 2015, when the school was moved to another location.
Over the past two years, the building was vandalised and the compound taken over by thick vegetation.
Several rib bones and parts of limbs seemed to be missing from the skeletal remains. The remains have been taken to a funeral home as investigations continue.
Police are also trying to determine the identity of a man, whose body was removed from a clump of bushes along the Matthew Allen Road in New Amsterdam Berbice on Friday last.
The body was found behind an abandoned building in the area. At the time of its discovery, the body appeared to have no marks of violence.
The police are seeking assistance in identifying the body which is at the Arokium Funeral home at Philadelphia Street in New Amsterdam. (Andrew Carmichael)
