More skulls found in St Thomas

Workers employed to the St Thomas Municipal Corporation have discovered at least three more skulls and other skeletal remains at the old Loyal James Lodge building Tuesday.

This brings to seven the number of skulls found so far.

Details on the latest discovery are still being sought.

The demolition exercise started on Sunday but was quickly halted after the first three sets of human remains were found in the building, which is located across from the Morant Bay Police Station.

Following a police probe, the demolition was cleared to resume on Monday but the discovery of another box bearing a skull and a few bones triggered a second halt.

Head of operations in the St Thomas Police Division, O’Neil Thompson, told The Gleaner on Tuesday that post-mortems are to be ordered as investigations continue.
