The police are reporting that an on-the-spot post-mortem conducted on the body that was recently found in a shallow grave in Rasta City, Tivoli Gardens, revealed that the death resulted from multiple gunshots to the abdomen and face and a high calibre shot to the throat.

The post-mortem was conducted yesterday by a government pathologist in the presence of police and a representative of the Public Defender's Office.

The male body is under 30 years old and approximately five feet 10 inches. An immediate burial certificate was granted by the relevant authorities as the body was in an advanced state of decomposition.

A total of four 9mm casings and one AK47 calibre cartridge with an expended bullet were recovered from the grave.
