WESTERN BUREAU:

Investigators attached to the Montego Bay Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) were up to yesterday evening, yet to identify a man whose decomposed body was found in a suitcase at an unoccupied house in Hendon, Norwood, Wednesday morning.

They said, however, that the victim, in his late teens, is believed to have been killed on Monday.

The Gleaner understands that the Crime Scene personnel who processed the body found no visible marks of violence.

"It look like his neck was broken and they (his killers) suffocated him, 'cause they even tied a piece of plastic around his head," one policeman, however, said.

The man, whose hands were tied, was found stuffed in a multicoloured suitcase in the cellar of the house.

According to residents, the police were called to the area after they saw the "mysterious suitcase".
