Police are seeking the public’s help to identify the body of a man found yesterday with bullet wounds to the back of the head at Concord Road, San Juan.

The latest killing pushed the murder toll to 389 for the year with the corresponding figure at 380 last year. 

Police responded to a report that the man’s body was found around 7.30 am in a track off the road near the NP gas station along Saddle Road. 

The man did not belong to the area, police said, which made it difficult to determine his identity.

Police said the victim appeared to be between 25 to 35 years old and was of African descent.

Fingerprints are expected to be taken today from the body at the Forensic Science Centre, St James, to help unravel the mystery.

In a separate case, police are also awaiting the results of fingerprint testing and possibly dental records to identify the decomposing body of a man found at Santa Cruz on Monday night.

Police said the discovery was made around 11.30 pm at a house at Mc Carthy Street, Santa Cruz. 

The officers were called after residents complained of a foul stench coming from a house. Officers said they have an idea as to the identity of the dead man but was awaiting further information before releasing his identity.

Investigators said owing to state of decomposition they could not determine whether foul play was involved in the man's death.
