BARBADIAN security officials are investigating the death of Onicka Malicia Gulliver, whose body was discovered in a bushy area in Vauclus, St. Thomas.

The woman, a Guyanese national, had been reported missing since Tuesday by her relatives on the island. The discovery was made yesterday morning just after sunrise, and relatives converged on the scene to identify the body.
Yesterday, the dead woman’s uncle, living in Guyana, told this newspaper that he had not seen or spoken to the woman for years.
He said that he was at home in Essequibo Region 2 yesterday morning when he received a call from someone in Barbados informing him that his brother’s daughter had been found murdered.
The uncle explained that he was informed recently that Onicka’s mother was living with her in Barbados.
Authorities in Barbados said that they arrested one man in connection with the discovery, which is being treated as a murder. (Leroy Smith)
