The Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS), through its North­ern Di­vi­sion, is in­ves­ti­gat­ing the at­tempt­ed dis­pos­al of 56 hu­man bod­ies on Sat­ur­day in the Cu­mu­to Dis­trict.

In a re­lease yes­ter­day, TTPS said a mul­ti-agency re­sponse in­volv­ing TTPS in­ves­ti­ga­tors and oth­er State au­thor­i­ties is on­go­ing to es­tab­lish the full cir­cum­stances sur­round­ing the mat­ter.

“State­ments are cur­rent­ly be­ing tak­en from per­sons of in­ter­est as in­quiries con­tin­ue. Pre­lim­i­nary find­ings sug­gest that some of the re­cov­ered bod­ies were la­belled, with ini­tial in­for­ma­tion point­ing to pos­si­ble links to a health in­sti­tu­tion,” the re­lease said.
