- Cops following strong leads

The St James police say they are following several leads surrounding the discovery of the charred remains of three males that were found in a burnt out vehicle in Barnett Bush in the parish yesterday.

THE STAR understands that three men left Westmoreland in a vehicle en route to St James yesterday morning.

Reports are that the incident took place between 9 and 10 a.m

Senior Superintendent Marlon Nesbeth told our news team that the police are hoping to do an early post-mortem.

"We can't definitively say if it is the three men, however, they have not been accounted for as yet. Forensic evaluation would have to be done. We are seeking an early post-mortem", Nesbeth said.

THE STAR gathered that residents reportedly saw the vehicle on fire and called the police to the scene.

The police also told THE STAR that no motive has been established and they are following several leads.

Investigations are ongoing.
