A decomposing body was discovered in a burnt-out bushy area off Church Street, Manuel Congo, Arima, on Friday afternoon.

Police said the grim discovery was made around 3 pm after officers responded to information received from a man who led them about 100 metres off the roadway into a bushy area that appeared to have been damaged by fire.

There, officers found what appeared to be a decomposing human body near a bamboo stool.
