    The Western Mirror visited both crime scenes and learnt that approximately 1 p.m. on Thursday, residents of Carey Village were alerted to a body which was discovered a short distance from the old train line close to the Mt. Carey Baptist Church.
    Based on the advanced state of decomposition, it is estimated that he may have been killed at least five days ago.
    A section of his head was missing; also one of his hands was severed.
    The body was still clad in brown shoes, white and blue belt, blue and white striped under pants and blue jeans. He is about six (6) feet tall, medium built and of a dark brown complexion.
    The decomposing body was bagged and placed in a board box where an on-the-spot post mortem was carried out.

    In the other case, the police were alerted to the community of Content in Adelphi where the 19 year-old, teenager (Campbell) was spending the day at a friend's house when he was killed. Reports are that Campbell had just gone into another room when explosions were heard. The friend went to investigate and found Campbell lying on the floor with gunshot wounds to his head. The body of the teenager was removed to the morgue where it awaits a post mortem.
