Decomposed body found in bushes believed to be missing St Ann man

A decomposed body discovered in bushes in the Bamboo community of St. Ann is believed to be that of 66-year-old Owen Hamilton, who was reported missing nine days ago. The remains were found on Monday, and a close relative at the scene noted the advanced state of decomposition made positive identification impossible without a forensic examination.

Hamilton, also known as “OG,” was last seen on Saturday, July 4, while attending a grave-digging exercise in Bamboo. His disappearance prompted relatives to offer a reward of $500,000 for information leading to his recovery. Hamilton was a resident of Steer Town, St. Ann.

The body was reportedly discovered by a farmer who stumbled upon it while in the area on Monday morning. Police are continuing their investigations into the circumstances surrounding this discovery.

The family is now awaiting the results of a forensic examination to confirm whether the remains are indeed those of Owen Hamilton.

The body was too badly decomposed to be positively identified.
