The de­com­pos­ing bod­ies of a man and a woman were found by hunters in a forest­ed area in Pe­nal, over the week­end.

The hunters were about two-and-a-half miles off Moolchan Trace, Pe­nal Rock Road, around 5:45 pm, when they got a foul scent and found the bod­ies.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said the man was wear­ing a pair of black long pants, while the woman was wear­ing a pair of blue short pants.

Po­lice said Venezue­lan iden­ti­fi­ca­tion cards with the names Jonathan Sanchez and Car­men Sanchez were found near the bod­ies.

How­ev­er, in­ves­ti­gat­ing of­fi­cers are still try­ing to con­firm the iden­ti­ty of the bod­ies.

Pe­nal Po­lice and Homi­cide Bu­reau of­fi­cers of Re­gion 3 are in­ves­ti­gat­ing.
