Police continue probe into Cumuto cemetery case

The Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice says one per­son re­mains in cus­tody as in­ves­ti­ga­tions con­tin­ue in­to the at­tempt­ed dis­pos­al of bod­ies at the Cu­mu­to Ceme­tery.

Po­lice said no charges have been laid at this time as en­quiries are on­go­ing.

The up­date fol­lows ac­tions tak­en on Wednes­day when in­ves­ti­ga­tors ex­e­cut­ed sev­er­al search war­rants at mul­ti­ple lo­ca­tions. Po­lice said these ex­er­cis­es form part of the on­go­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­to the mat­ter.

Ac­cord­ing to the TTPS, a num­ber of per­sons of in­ter­est have been iden­ti­fied. Po­lice said arrange­ments are be­ing made to con­duct fur­ther in­ter­views with these in­di­vid­u­als.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said the list in­cludes per­sons who may as­sist with en­quiries, in­clud­ing rep­re­sen­ta­tives of the San­gre Grande Re­gion­al Cor­po­ra­tion.

Po­lice said the in­ves­ti­ga­tion re­mains ac­tive as of­fi­cers work to es­tab­lish the cir­cum­stances sur­round­ing the in­ci­dent.

The TTPS stat­ed that ef­forts are con­tin­u­ing to gath­er in­for­ma­tion and con­duct in­ter­views linked to the case.

Po­lice al­so said up­dates will be pro­vid­ed as more in­for­ma­tion be­comes avail­able.

The de­vel­op­ment comes as in­ves­ti­ga­tors con­tin­ue work across sev­er­al lo­ca­tions tied to the probe.

The TTPS said the mat­ter re­mains un­der in­ves­ti­ga­tion and no fur­ther de­tails can be pro­vid­ed at this stage.

Po­lice are ask­ing any­one with in­for­ma­tion to con­tact the TTPS.

Last Sat­ur­day, the TTPS launched an ur­gent in­ves­ti­ga­tion fol­low­ing the dis­cov­ery of mul­ti­ple hu­man re­mains at the Cu­mu­to Ceme­tery.

Of­fi­cers from the Cu­mu­to Po­lice Sta­tion re­spond­ed to in­for­ma­tion re­ceived and se­cured the lo­ca­tion, while Crime Scene In­ves­ti­ga­tors car­ried out a de­tailed foren­sic ex­am­i­na­tion.
