Po­lice are try­ing to iden­ti­fy skele­tal re­mains found in La Ro­main yes­ter­day.

The grue­some dis­cov­ery was made around 7 am while a 66-year-old man was hunt­ing in bush­es 100 feet off the South­ern Main Road near Paria Suites Ho­tel.

The dis­trict med­ical of­fi­cer viewed the skele­tal re­mains and or­dered their re­moval pend­ing an au­top­sy at the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre in Port-of-Spain.

Po­lice said the doc­tor could not as­cer­tain the race or gen­der of the re­mains. PC May­nard of the South­ern Di­vi­sion is in­ves­ti­gat­ing. (SW)
