ROSEAU, Dominica (CMC) — Dominica’s Police Commissioner Lincoln Corbett says Jamaica has given the green light for samples to be sent to a lab there to determine whether the remains of a decomposed body found at the bottom of a precipice in Capuchin, on August 12 this year, is that of 16-year-old Jerbiah Paul.
Paul was last seen at her home on July 24, 2026, and reported missing the following day.
Four people, including active police officers have been charged in connection with the death of Paul and Corbett said that while the police are confident that the remains are that of the 16-year-old, there is still need for DNA analysis.
