The HOMICIDE Bureau of Investigations Region Three police are currently investigating the tragic death of 49-year-old fabricator Anthony Sahadeo James in Penal. His body was discovered at his home on Monday afternoon, with visible wounds to the head. The grim discovery was made by Penal police after a concerned relative went to check on James at his residence in San Francique.
James was found lying on a mattress in his one-room structure, dressed only in boxer shorts. The last time he was seen alive was on July 7th, around 11 pm. District medical officer Dr. De Gannes ordered the removal of the body to the San Fernando General Hospital mortuary, where an autopsy will be conducted at the Forensic Science Centre in St James.
The investigation is being led by WPC Rampersad, along with a team of dedicated officers from the Southern Western Division and the Homicide Bureau. Despite their efforts, a motive for James’ death remains unknown at this time. Officers including Cpl Ramkisoon, WPC Ashby-Shelby, Pc Yearwood, Sgt Elvin, WPC La Rode, and PC Sirkissoon are diligently working to uncover the truth behind this tragic incident.
