Hilberto Romero

Last Thursday, the badly decomposed body of a John Doe was discovered floated near mile five on the Phillip Goldson Highway. The discovery was made when a caretaker of a property just past the Haulover Bridge, who immediately alerted the police. A postmortem conducted on the body that same day would be inconclusive as to the cause of death and all police was able to say was that the person is male and likely Caucasian. But it has been five days since and the body has still not been identified, says Superintendent Hilberto Romero.
