THE BODY of a woman which was found burnt beyond recognition in some bushes at Guave Road in Chaguaramas on Sunday, was yesterday identified as Lee Ann Wilson, 19, a Guyanese national.

The body was found at about 3 pm by officers of the Chaguaramas Development Authority (CDA) who responded to a report of a bush fire. Officers said a plastic Bob Marley ring, a wrist band and part of a shoe were found near the body.

The items were identified by Colin Walcott, a friend of the dead woman. Walcott told Newsday yesterday that when Wilson went missing last Sunday, he made a report to the Four Roads Police.

He said Wilson arrived in the country on December 19 and was due to return to Guyana on June 10. Wilson worked as a baby-sitter in Maraval. She left her La Puerta, Diego Martin home last Sunday to go to a friend’s home in Morvant. Police are yet to establish a motive for the murder.
