ID For Man Impaled on Machete
posted (August 12, 2019)
Last week, we told you about the body of an unknown man which was discovered last Thursday.

As we told you, the cops found him with a machete injury to the leg, and they believe that the blade hit a major blood vessel, and caused him to bleed out and die. But, police believed that this injury was self-inflicted. They suspect that he impaled himself with the machete, and so it is being treated as a case of sudden death.

Police told us today that they've since identified the deceased:

ACP Joseph Myvette - Head, NCIB
"In relation to the person that was found dead last week in St. Margarets, his identity has been determined to be that of Erlin Rafael Carrillas, a 25-year-old Guatemalan national. At this point in time, no post-mortem has yet been conducted, but that is scheduled to be conducted tomorrow."

"Sir, do you know if he has a family in the village?"

ACP Joseph Myvette
"None that we know about, what the police gathered so far is that he was just in that area for about 2 months or so."
