TTPS seeks help identifying seven bodies

The Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) is ap­peal­ing to the pub­lic for as­sis­tance in iden­ti­fy­ing sev­en bod­ies found in the North Cen­tral Di­vi­sion be­tween Oc­to­ber 2021 and March 2026.

The bod­ies and skele­tal re­mains were dis­cov­ered in St Au­gus­tine, St Joseph, Curepe and Tu­na­puna.

In a me­dia re­lease, the TTPS pro­vid­ed de­scrip­tions of the in­di­vid­u­als and the cir­cum­stances in which they were found, in the hope of lo­cat­ing rel­a­tives who can help es­tab­lish their iden­ti­ties.

One of the in­di­vid­u­als was a man of East In­di­an de­scent, be­lieved to be in his six­ties, who was found out­side the north­ern en­trance of the Er­ic Williams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex on Oc­to­ber 17, 2024.

He had long, grey, un­kempt hair and was wear­ing brown long pants, a dark blue shirt and old boots.

An­oth­er uniden­ti­fied per­son was found on Pasea Street, St Au­gus­tine, on March 9, 2025. The in­di­vid­ual was wear­ing a green jer­sey, black long pants and black socks.

On June 28, 2025, a skull was dis­cov­ered at Bue­na Vista, St Eliz­a­beth Gar­dens, St Joseph, fol­low­ing a re­port of a road traf­fic ac­ci­dent. The in­di­vid­ual was de­scribed as be­ing of East In­di­an de­scent, slim-built and brown in com­plex­ion.

The body of an uniden­ti­fied man of African de­scent was found at St Joseph Bridge on De­cem­ber 21, 2025. He was wear­ing a mul­ti­coloured T-shirt and grey sweat­pants.

An­oth­er uniden­ti­fied man, be­lieved to be be­tween 50 and 60 years old, was found along the South­ern Main Road, Curepe, on March 15, 2026. He was de­scribed as slim-built and dark brown in com­plex­ion, wear­ing dirty cloth­ing and car­ry­ing a back­pack.

The TTPS is al­so seek­ing to iden­ti­fy skele­tal re­mains, record­ed as those of a John or Jane Doe, which were dis­cov­ered along Up­per Au­zonville Road, Tu­na­puna, on Oc­to­ber 17, 2021.

The sev­enth in­di­vid­ual was a man of East In­di­an de­scent who was found be­neath the Curepe Over­pass on May 16, 2024, fol­low­ing a re­port of a road traf­fic ac­ci­dent. He was slim-built and brown in com­plex­ion, had a low hair­cut and was wear­ing red shorts.

The TTPS is urg­ing any­one with in­for­ma­tion that could help iden­ti­fy the in­di­vid­u­als or lo­cate their rel­a­tives to con­tact the po­lice.
