SKELETAL remains believed to be those of Feroze Khan, a 49-year-old fisherman, were on Monday discovered on his Lot 21 Danielstown, Region Two property.

The discovery was made by his brother, Shameer Khan, who is also a fisherman.

Shameer told this publication that his brother, a habitual drinker, suffered from seizures. Feroze lived alone in a two-storey concrete house.

Shameer said he last saw him alive on June 21, around 13:00 hrs riding a bicycle on Back Street, Danielstown. The next day, Shameer went out to sea and returned to shore on Monday.

After realising that he wasn’t seeing his brother, he decided to go to his house to check on him.

The man recalled that when he arrived around 17:30 hrs, he was greeted by an obnoxious scent. Shortly after, he discovered skeletal remains in the yard and has since identified a faded blue pair of pants and a light purple jersey as his brother’s.

Several bones, including the skull, were found scattered, and were carefully placed in a body bag. The remains are at the Suddie Public Hospital Mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.
