The Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice has launched an ur­gent in­ves­ti­ga­tion fol­low­ing the dis­cov­ery of mul­ti­ple hu­man re­mains at the Cu­mu­to Ceme­tery to­day.

Of­fi­cers from the Cu­mu­to Po­lice Sta­tion re­spond­ed to in­for­ma­tion re­ceived and se­cured the lo­ca­tion, while Crime Scene In­ves­ti­ga­tors car­ried out a de­tailed foren­sic ex­am­i­na­tion.

Po­lice said 56 bod­ies have been re­cov­ered so far, in­clud­ing 50 in­fants, four adult males and two adult fe­males. In­ves­ti­ga­tors re­port­ed that one of the adult males and one of the adult fe­males showed signs of a pri­or post-mortem. All adult re­mains, ex­cept one male, were found with iden­ti­fi­ca­tion tags.
