DETECTIVES in Regional Division #10 are probing the circumstances surrounding the death of three persons who were found inside a minibus (BAC 7350) along the Mabura Trail at 28 Miles, on Sunday around 09:40hrs.

Those confirmed dead are the driver of the minibus, Leon Achee, and Refa Bovell of Linden. The other deceased individual has not yet been identified, the police said.

The scene was visited by Commander of Regional Division #10, Superintendent Guy Nurse, along with a party of police officers.

“Upon inspection, the minibus appeared to be stuck in a deep pothole with the rear of the vehicle submerged. The vehicle’s engine was on and all windows were locked. It is suspected that the victims had slept in the bus the entire night,” the police said.

The bodies of the deceased were examined for marks of violence but none were seen on the exposed parts of their bodies.
