Headless skeletal remains found in Siparia
WEEKS after a woman’s head was found in a cooler on the roadside in Siparia, a man riding a bicycle saw a dog eating what turned out to be part of human skeletal remains on the afternoon of April 10. The body is believed to be that of 60-year-old grandmother of three, Joanne Estick, whose severed head was discovered inside a bag in a cooler at Sennon Village #3 in Siparia on March 13.
However, police from the Homicide Bureau of Investigations, Region Three, said DNA testing has to be done to confirm the identity. A resident reported that around 5.30 pm on April 10, he was riding his bicycle along the Penal Quinam Road in Siparia, where he saw a dog chewing on a bone about five feet off the road in an overgrown area. On checking, he observed what appeared to be human skeletal remains and alerted the Penal Police Station.The victim was wearing a purple undergarment around the waist.
Last week, two men, Michael Edwards, 44, and his nephew Ryan Edwards of Siparia, appeared before a master in the High Court charged with Estick's murder.
