A VALENCIA gardener stumbled upon two bodies partially submerged in a river, close to his christophene garden on Thursday.

According to a police report, at about 5 pm a gardener went to his garden, off Sellier Road, where he noticed a “strange” pair of slippers. Upon making further checks around his garden, he discovered the bodies of two men lying face down. Their hands, police said, were tied behind their backs.

A party of police officers along with the District Medical Officer visited the scene. The bodies were removed to the Forensic Science Centre in St James.

Police are asking assistance from the members of the public who can divulge information and/or identify the bodies. Such persons are asked to contact the Valencia Police Post at 667 9030 or the Sangre Grande Police Station at 668 2444 or 800 TIPS (8477) or 555.
