Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro said it has not yet been determined if the bodies which washed up on Trinidad's north eastern coastline over the weekend are the alleged drug traffickers killed in a US airstrike on September 2, but it is being looked at.

"We can only answer that after an investigation is done." Guevarro said on September 8.

"We do not wish to speculate in the public, because that would cause fearmongering or any speculation otherwise. We have two bodies thus far has washed up with apparent injuries on those bodies. We will now investigate to determine where the bodies came from, if it is possible, because they were in an advanced state of decomposition. At the end of the day, we would let the evidence speak for itself."
