Apr 22, 2023 News

Kaieteur News – The skeleton of a human being which was found last month in some bushes just off the Kamwatta Access Road located in Region One is suspected to be that of a 41-year-old woman who went missing for some time.

Commander of Region One, Himnauth Sawh told Kaieteur News on Friday that from the information received the remains are suspected to be that of Jonnelle Althea Johnson.

Kaieteur News understands that a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) assessment will be done to confirm if the skeleton is indeed that of Johnson.

This publication had reported that persons in the area made contact with the police station on March 15, 2023 indicating the location of the Skeleton. Police responded immediately and upon arrival discovered a skull, bones and hair suspected to be that of a human of African descent.

The skeleton was reportedly found some 800 meters from the Kamwatta Access Road near a bushy area. The skeleton was taken to the Kumaka District Hospital where an analysis was scheduled to be done by Dr. Nehaul Singh.

Investigations are ongoing.
