Unidentified woman’s body found on North Coast Road

Po­lice in­ves­ti­ga­tors are try­ing to con­firm the iden­ti­ty of a woman whose body was found along the North Coast Road on Wednes­day night.

Po­lice said of­fi­cers of the Mar­aval Po­lice Sta­tion re­ceived a re­port of a body on the road, near an agri­cul­tur­al shop around 10.44 pm and went to the scene.

On ar­rival, of­fi­cers found the body of a woman, who ap­peared to be in her mid-twen­ties and of mixed de­scent.

Sources said the woman was ap­prox­i­mate­ly five feet and sev­en inch­es in height and was ap­prox­i­mate­ly 200 pounds. She was wear­ing a black skirt, brown cardi­gan and a pair of cream-coloured crocs.

Po­lice said the woman was foam­ing at the mouth and nose and had a tat­too on her left fore­arm.

No marks of vi­o­lence were vis­i­ble on the body.

A dis­trict med­ical of­fi­cer de­clared the woman dead.

Of­fi­cers of the Re­gion I Homi­cide Bu­reau are con­tin­u­ing en­quiries.
