AN 18-MONTH investigation by law enforcers led to the exhumation of skeletal remains in an open field at Waterloo Lane, Spanish Town, St Catherine, on Tuesday.
Acting Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Fitz Bailey said that the police had been tipped off about the burial site.
Sleuths had expected to find the remains of more than two persons in a zone dominated by the Clansman Gang, one of the two largest underworld networks operating in St Catherine.
Fifty-nine per cent were considered to be non-gang, 10 per cent were considered undetermined, so I want to point out that the anti-gang strategy that we have employed for St Catherine North and other parts of the island … is working,” he said
Residents of Waterloo expressed shock as they watched in groups as the security forces carried out their operation.
Five bodies were unearthed during that operation in St Andrew.
