Yesterday evening, Jamal Humes' family finally laid him to rest - with a hasty burial for his decomposed remains. It certainly is not the end they wanted for their loved one but finding his body after three desperate months of searching at least brought them some closure.
Police told us what they know so far in this case.
ASP Alejandro Cowo, Head of CIB
"Acting upon information received Ladyville police visited an area about 2 miles off the George Price Highway, 8 miles where in an open area they found the remains of a human hand on the surface of the ground as a result police and scenes of crime personnel and the forensic department dug out the area and retrieved from the area the decomposed body of a person."
"The person was identified as that of missing person Jamal Humes who was reported missing from the 20th of December 2017."
As we have reported Humes was a witness to a 2012 murder. Police had said they know of no other issues he had had with anyone. He died from two gunshots to the head.
