Shallow grave boy under probe

The badly decomposed body of a 10-year-old boy suspected to have been murdered was brought to the city yesterday. A man is said to be in police custody assisting with investigations.

Dead is Markinson Felix. This newspaper could not confirm from which interior location the body was brought from. According to sources, the body was found in a shallow grave. It was badly decomposed and “not like a body”, it had to be scooped up, a source said. Detectives from the city went to the interior location yesterday to conduct investigations. A man was reported to have been taken into custody but he could not be brought to the city yesterday because the plane was full.

He is expected to be brought to Georgetown today. Police investigations are continuing.
