The remains of at least 50 infants and six adults have been dumped at a graveyard in Trinidad and Tobago, police say. The country's police service (TTPS) stated that the bodies were discovered in the town of Cumuto, approximately 40km (25 miles) from the capital Port of Spain on Trinidad. Initial investigations suggest this may be a case of unlawful disposal of unclaimed corpses. It remains unclear if the incident is associated with gang violence, a serious concern in a country that holds one of the highest murder rates in Latin America and the Caribbean. According to the police, five of the six adult bodies - which included four men and two women - had identification tags, with two showing signs of prior post-mortem examinations. Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro characterized the discovery as 'deeply troubling', affirming that any individual or institution found violating their duty will be held fully accountable. Since March 2, a renewed state of emergency has provided police with extended powers of search and arrest, as the US state department continues to issue travel advisories related to crime and terrorism risks. Despite some decreases in violent crime, issues persist across the country, highlighting the challenges that remain.
