The body of a man, be­lieved to be a miss­ing PH dri­ver, has been dis­cov­ered near Dum­fries Road, off the S.S. Erin Road in Debe. His hands were bound.

The 46-year-old man was last seen in his dark blue Nis­san Almera on Thurs­day night. The ve­hi­cle was dis­cov­ered ear­li­er to­day (April 25, 2025).

Rel­a­tives last saw him around 9 am yes­ter­day, when he left home for work. He op­er­at­ed along the San Fer­nan­do to Pe­nal route.

The man last spoke to his daugh­ter around 6:30 pm, telling her he was at the Pe­nal Taxi Stand and would be home short­ly. He asked her to be on the look­out to open the front gate for him.

When he failed to re­turn, rel­a­tives tried call­ing his cell-phone, but the calls went to voice­mail. CCTV footage showed his ve­hi­cle near a school in Debe around 6:40 pm.

Of­fi­cers from the Homi­cide Bu­reau of In­ves­ti­ga­tion (HBI) Re­gion 3 and the South­ern Di­vi­sion, along with the Val­lence Ramb­harat-led Hunters Search and Res­cue Team, are on the scene.
