Bodies dumped in T&T
@CricSham
I rather suspect it's a not too honest undertaker.
Even more concerning is the shooting death of a policewoman and the subsequent raiding the armory in the police station where she was on shift..
More guns and ammunition at the disposal of criminals.
Far too much crime in these 2x4 islands.

Grim discovery in Cumuto! Two held trying to bury 50 infants, 6 adults in single grave
Meanwhile, the cemetery’s caretaker, who would only give his name as Carl, told Sunday Guardian that this was not the first time that he had seen the suspects at the cemetery on at least three separate occasions in the past several months.
Even as he assured that, “Every cadaver would be handled with dignity and lawful care,” Guevarro warned.“Any individual or institution found to have violated that duty will be held fully accountable.”Police sources said that while being questioned, the suspects revealed they had been instructed by their employer to dig a grave for a pauper’s funeral.A pauper’s funeral is a government-funded burial or cremation for individuals who cannot afford a traditional funeral.
It is typically arranged when no one else can or will pay for the burial, and it is often handled by local funeral homes.To qualify for a pauper’s funeral, individuals may need to meet certain criteria, such as having unclaimed property or being identified as indigent. Allegations that some funeral homes have been doing this for some time.
Mostly unclaimed bodies.
Belgrove calls for proper regulations for funeral industry
A release from the TTPS stated that preliminary indications suggest that “this may be a case involving the unlawful disposal of unclaimed bodies.”Speaking to Guardian Media during a telephone interview, Belgrove admitted that there are a lot of “dirty stories of funeral service.”And he claimed the Government turns a blind eye to it.
“We have serious problems, for instance, with funeral homes opening every Monday morning. No standards. There is a national standard by the TTPS, nobody follows it. You can open a funeral home, if you want, get a van and you’re in the funeral business. But you’re risking public health with what you’re doing. We have funeral homes, some of them apply and get police removal contracts immediately.”He claimed some of these homes don’t even have refrigeration services for the bodies.“They turn up with decomposed bodies for the bereaved families for autopsies. And the police seem to be condoning this. So no, we need to get this fixed.”
“It’s urgently needed. I am calling on the police. We started discussions years ago. It fell down and nothing has followed. This association is ready to meet with the police, meet with the Government, so that we can move proper regulations for the industry forward... so we can grow from an industry to a profession.”
