The dismembered body of an unidentified woman was found at the Annandale foreshore yesterday morning.
The head, legs and arms were found later at the foreshore after the water receded at about 12:10 PM, the police said in a statement afterward.
A resident said the woman did not have on any underwear except for a brassiere, while a tattoo was said to be evident on one of the legs.
One man said he saw the body after he was taking out his sick dog for a bath. “Me see de body, so me run back quick,” he recounted. “He come back fast, fast, so me want know is wha happen, and he tell me he see a dead body. So, me ask he, if he sure is a dead body and not a cow,” his wife added.
The man said he was so shaken by what he had witnessed that he asked a friend to accompany him back to the site, just to make sure his eyes had not deceived him.
He said when his friend went back with him, his friend pointed out to him that there was no head and no limbs.
The man said he got so scared his eyes failed to pick up the details when he first visited.
He said that the place where the body was found is very desolate and he was often uneasy about visiting the area.
He noted that his neighbour had heard a speeding car around 3:00 AM heading in that direction but did not make much of it.
The man said he believes the body was dismembered with either a power-saw or a saw. His wife believed that the body had not been there long since the woman’s brassiere was still intact. She was also critical of the police, whom she said took hours to arrive on the scene.
Another resident said the woman had a tattoo on her leg. She too believed that the woman’s limbs were sawed off.
“When we go up deh, we see like some minced meat; the head gone, the foot gone, and it look somebody use a cutlass,” another resident added.
The woman’s body is currently at the Memorial Gardens and Crematorium at the Le Repentir Cemetery.
