(Trinidad Express)) The burnt remains of a man were discovered in Sangre Grande yesterday afternoon in the trunk of a vehicle.
The discovery was made at about 3 p.m. on Ojoe Road in North Eastern Settlement.
The deceased is believed to be 32-year-old Dane Hosein Jnr, who was reported missing on Christmas Eve.
According to initial reports, Hosein, from Quash Trace in Sangre Grande, was last seen alive at about 10 a.m. on Tuesday.
He had left his girlfriend’s home in his white Nissan Almera and informed relatives that he would be returning to his home soon.

In the trunk, they found the burnt remains of a human being.
