Eastern Caribbean Horror: Investigating the 19 Decomposing Bodies Found on Drifting Vessel

Unsolved Tragedy: 19 Bodies Discovered on Boat Near Caribbean Shores

Authorities in St. Kitts and Nevis are investigating the discovery of at least 19 decomposing bodies aboard a partially submerged fishing vessel found drifting near the island of Nevis. The St. Kitts and Nevis Coast Guard located the vessel and towed it to St. Kitts for further examination.

Preliminary findings suggest that the boat may have originated from the West African coast, as identification documents from Mali were found among the deceased. The advanced state of decomposition indicates that the vessel had been at sea for an extended period before entering the territorial waters of St. Kitts and Nevis.

The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force is leading the investigation, focusing on identifying the deceased and determining the circumstances that led to this tragic event. The advanced decomposition of the bodies presents significant challenges in this process. Authorities have expressed their condolences to the families of the victims and are committed to uncovering the truth behind this incident.
