Turks and Caicos: Unidentified body of man found

The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force (RTCIPF) is investigating a murder following the discovery of a body.

The victim was found on the side of the road on Robinson Street, Five Cays, Providenciales this morning.

A report states the unidentified male is approximately 5’ 08” ft tall, slim built, about 150 to 160 pounds, and appears between 30 and 40 years old.

The body was clad only in a white long-sleeve jersey and long khaki pants. The male victim wore multi-coloured sneakers (purple, green, and white).

The RTCIPF is seeking the public’s assistance in positively identifying the male victim.

Based on preliminary information, a call was placed to the Police Control Room around 6:37 am indicating that the lifeless body of a male was lying on the roadside.

RTCIPF officers arrived at the location and found the bleeding victim with what appeared to be gunshot wounds.

An autopsy is expected to be performed today to determine the cause of death.
