Murder in Maraval ...

The authorities were alerted on Monday 25th June, 2007 when an unidentified decomposing body was discovered behind a dumpster at Royal Castle on Maraval Rd. The body, which was found by the sales representative who wishes to remain anonymous, was said to have been discarded wrapped in plastic bags and exhibiting marks of extreme violence.

Upon interviewing, Maurice Samson, the Head Investigative Officer at the Port-of-Spain Forensic Investigation Department, had these words to say:
“This is the most extreme case of violence that we at the P.O.S.F.I.D. have ever seen since the inception of the department. The body was severely mutilated; cut as it seemed into quarters. The head and feet were missing as well as the internal organs and large chunks of flesh from the leg and thigh areas. Most disturbing of all was that the body bore human teeth marks all over it.”

It was later confirmed by the P.O.S.F.I.D that the cadaver was indeed half-eaten.

The body was described as being small- only 8-10 inches in length and estimated to be about 6 to 8 pounds which further raised questions to the nature of the crime. Upon chemical analysis at the lab it was revealed that the body had been lightly battered in a flour based product posthumously and fried in a zero trans-fat soybean oil. Also detected through toxicological analysis were traces of eleven herbs and spices, ketchup, mustard and pasted hot peppers.

Police are continuing to investigate, saying that they suspect that this crime will happen again. An obese negro man has since been held for questioning.
