Skele­tal re­mains found at the St Joseph Sec­ondary School on Sun­day re­main uniden­ti­fied.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, around 3.30 pm a man flagged down pa­trolling po­lice of­fi­cers from the St Joseph Sta­tion and told them that he had de­tect­ed a foul smell com­ing from the school.

The of­fi­cers made a check and in an el­e­va­tor shaft on the west­ern side of the com­pound, about three feet down, they saw the re­mains, which were sus­pect­ed to be hu­man.

The area was cor­doned off and of­fi­cials from the Homi­cide Bu­reau were con­tact­ed, and a team led by In­sp Pierre and W Sgt Robin­son-Mot­t­ley re­spond­ed.

The re­mains were viewed by a dis­trict med­ical of­fi­cer who or­dered their re­moval to the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre.

An au­top­sy has been or­dered pend­ing iden­ti­fi­ca­tion.
