POLICE, accompanied by residents, found the skeletal remains of a person, suspected to be male, at Belle West Backdam, West Bank Demerara, on Tuesday about 09:30 h. Police reported that a white, black and blue coloured trunks and a white ‘Nike’ boot were also at the scene.

The identity of the deceased is still being sought, Police said.

That discovery followed another, on Monday, of Davinand Singh, 49, of Parfaite Harmonie, also on West Bank Demerara, at New Hope Backdam, East Bank Demerara, about 12:10 h.

Singh had been reported missing on January 2, by a relative with whom he was staying at New Hope.

He was described as mentally unstable and was positively identified by his teeth, in thick bushes, clad in black underwear and what was left of his toe nails.

Relatives said he may have suffered a nervous breakdown after domestic squabbles with his wife, over an alleged triangular love affair that caused him to move out of the matrimonial home.
