The St Mary police are awaiting a post-mortem report to determine the cause of death of a woman, whose body was found late last week in Jack’s River in the parish.
The deceased is 56-year-old Ann-Marie Henderson, a higgler of Eden Hill in Jack’s River.
Henderson was last seen on Friday, July 29 when she told residents that she was going to collect a sum of money from a man. She did not return home and a search was subsequently launched for her.
A police report said sometime after 4pm on Wednesday, August 4, residents found Henderson’s partially nude and decomposed body and alerted law enforcers.
On their arrival, Henderson’s body was seen lying face-down clad in a red underwear. Other items belonging to the woman were found in close proximity to her body.
The body was subsequently removed to the morgue.
Police investigators said the results of a post-mortem will determine the course of their probe into Henderson’s death.

THE decomposing body of a woman wrapped in a tarpaulin and discovered in a bamboo grove at Bobb Street, Penal, on Sunday afternoon is believed to be that of missing ex-convict, Kareen Ramlal.
A hammer was also found near the body causing police to suspect it may have been the murder weapon.
Last December, Ramlal, 43, was released from prison after serving her sentence for the murder of her common-law husband, Anil Jadoo, in 2006. She and two others pleaded guilty to Jadoo’s murder. She was sentenced in March 2021, and had one year and two months left on her sentence but was released early because of good behaviour.
In January 2021, the three pleaded guilty to killing Jadoo on May 3, 2006, by first trying to poison him with a meal of stewed goat and then bludgeoning him to death.
On her release, Ramlal got a job as a security guard. She was reported missing by her daughter Kerry Ann Jadoo, of Penal, on July 31.
On Sunday, police found a decomposing body but were reluctant to give a positive identification. However, Newsday was told a purse with Ramlal’s identification card, her cell phone, items of clothing and a pair of shoes were found near the body.
The woman’s body was discovered by the Hunters Search and Rescue team, led by Captain Vallence Rambharat along with Inspector Junior Marcelle of the Siparia CID.
Rambharat told Newsday a search for Ramlal began around 7 am at Ribero Trace and Motor Branch Road at the 8 Mile Mark at Penal Rock Road on Sunday.
He said a decision was taken to enlist stronger police support.
Air support, a canine unit and officers from the Penal Police station joined the team which went to Bobb Trace where they found the body in a bamboo patch around 2.32 pm.
Jadoo’s daughter was also at the site with officers from Homicide Region III and crime scene investigators. Also speaking to Newsday was Ren Goopiesingh, of Hard Grounds Hunters Association, who said they spoke to a man who was said to be the last person to have seen Ramlal alive and was not satisfied with his explanation. The man cannot be found.
An autopsy is expected to be done today at the Forensic Science Centre.
Police are also investigating the murder of Raydeall Short, 30, also known as Flex, of Bay Shore, Marabella, who was gunned down on Saturday night.
Residents told police they heard gunshots around 7.5o pm and found Short’s body on the ground.

The government’s attempt to demonise public utilities workers and suspend the scrap iron industry is a bullying tactic to mask its failure, according to political leader of the Movement for Social Justice, David Abdulah.
At a news conference on Sunday, Abdulah accused National Security Minister Fitzgerald Hinds of making threats against WASA workers when he spoke about invoking the Industrial Relations Act (IRA) and Anti-Terrorism Act.
He said the threats are as a result of Government’s incompetence to treat with overwhelming crime.
He referred to last Friday’s news conference at which Hinds, Public Utilities Minister Marvin Gonzales and acting Commissioner of Police Mc Donald Jacob spoke about the concentrated attacks on state assets, namely, WASA, TTEC and TSTT, for copper and scrap metals and the decision to place a ban on the export of the scrap iron for six months.
Hinds inferred that culprits had working knowledge of the installations vandalised and spoke about larger plots which may require the Anti-Terrorism Act to prosecute.
Police have offered a $100,000 reward for arrest and prosecution of vandals which, Jacob said, was beyond simple larceny.
“He (Hinds) was threatening people with all kinds of actions without a single shred of evidence,” Abdulah said.
“He spoke about action that could be taken under the IRA, well, the only persons who can be charged under the IRA are workers in that essential service.
“What you were doing, talking about the IRA and what action they could take, was threatening workers Fitzgerald Hinds.”
He said the “intelligence” Hinds touted last Friday, had not resulted in the reduction of serious crimes in this country.
“The murder rate is at a horrendous level. People are being killed every day. Wanton violence is taking place. Even police officers are being kidnapped and robbed. People are not safe in their homes.
“Home invasions, robberies on the streets of Port of Spain and elsewhere, car thefts and this so-called intelligence you have is not keeping citizens safe and securing TT.
“But you want to threaten people, including WASA workers with IRA and Anti-Terrorism Act?”
The MSJ has been engaged in dialogue with the Scrap Iron Dealers Association.
Abdulah said, “Had the Government acted at that time, it could have put the brakes on the stealing of copper from installations at WASA, TTEC, TSTT or Digicel lines.
“But you failed to do your work Mr Hinds. The Rowley Government failed to do its work by not taking advice.
“Government has fallen down on the job. It is not doing the job it is supposed to be doing, causing other people to lose their jobs, lose their livelihood, put small businesses in jeopardy and then blame others.
“We will not let them get away with that.”

POLICE have again recovered three illegal firearms and arrested a number of people in a second anti-crime operation over the weekend.
On Sunday, a release from the police service said officers of the Central Division Task Force executed a search warrant at the home of a 31-year-old Venezuelan man in Lange Park, Chaguanas, where they found one Beretta semi-automatic pistol with two magazines and 29 rounds of nine millimetre ammunition.
The suspect was immediately arrested.
In the Eastern Division, officers there mounted an operation which led to the arrest of a robbery suspect in Sangre Grande.
The release said a man made arrangements to buy jewellery from someone when he was robbed of an iPhone XS and $3,500 at the location of the sale.
An operation by the division’s task force led to the arrest of two men, ages 23 and 24. Police also recovered the stolen cell phone and money.
These latest exercises followed similar operations in other divisions on the weekend. During those exercises, police recovered a Berretta PX4 Storm pistol, 10 rounds of nine millimetre ammunition, 140 marijuana plants and a quantity of cocaine.
Five suspects, two women, ages 29 and 66, and three men, ages 29, 33, and 38, of South Trinidad, were arrested and are expected to be charged later this week.
In the Western Division, task force officers arrested a 39-year-old man from Lanse Mitan, Carenage, after he was found with a black revolver and quantity of .38 ammunition.
North Eastern Division officers also recovered a pistol with a magazine containing 13 rounds of nine milimetre ammunition hidden in a concrete block in an abandoned structure on an unoccupied parcel of land at Dookie Drive, El Socorro Extension, El Socorro.
Investigations into all incidents are ongoing.

Caroni East MP Dr Rishad Seecheran addresses monkey pox vaccines at the Opposition’s media briefing on Sunday. – AYANNA KINSALE
OPPOSITION MP Dr Rishad Seecheran says the Health Ministry must not be totally dependent on the efforts of Pan-American Health Organisation (PAHO) to ensure TT has timely access to the vaccine used to treat the monkey pox virus.
He said Government should have no problem asking developed countries –many of which have already sourced and stored large batches of the vaccine –for donations.
On August 3, Health Minister Terrance Deyalsingh said the ministry placed an order with PAHO for 2,000 doses of the monkey pox vaccine. He said there was no firm confirmation of prices or arrival date.
On Sunday, speaking at the Opposition’s media briefing on Sunday, Seecheran said 2,000 doses of the two-dose regime vaccine was not enough to protect the country should there be an outbreak.
“This is not enough Minister Deyalsingh should an outbreak occur in our twin-island republic. We will all be left exposed and every single citizen of Trinidad and Tobago will be at risk. Every effort must be made to get more access to monkey pox vaccines.
“Up to now TT doesn’t have a single monkey pox vaccine. We should not entirely rely upon PAHO and the WHO (World Health Organisation) or vaccine supply to combat monkey pox. The WHO has created a new vaccine-sharing mechanism to stop the outbreak of monkey pox and this program is based on countries’ epidemiological needs, very similar to Covax mandate.
“Right now we are open to attack from monkey pox. We must reach out to foreign partners possibly for a donation. The United States has millions of vaccines, many of the European countries have millions of vaccines and they are they are keeping it from their population.
“But we need to reach out to these foreign governments and ask for donations because we do not know when we would get that order of 2,000 vaccines from PAHO.
“As we saw with the Covax initiative, rich countries bought up most of the world’s supply of vaccines.”
The Covax facility was crippled by vaccine-hoarding which created shortages to the detriment of poorer countries.
Covax was founded in April 2020, by the WHO, Gavi; the Vaccine Alliance, Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, European Commission and the Government of France after scientists began working on an effective covid19 vaccine.
Covax’s objective was to ensure all countries had equal access, through its facility, to the covid19 vaccines whenever they became available. TT ordered 100,800 covid19 doses through Covax in 2020.
At the opening ceremony of CARPHA’s stakeholder consultation on regional health security, at the Hyatt Regency, Port of Spain, in July, Deyalsingh admitted to having fears of TT having difficulties with accessing monkey pox vaccine.
Seecheran suggested a proper health-care response plan targeting high-risk citizens as the country remains on high alert for the virus’ arrival.
He said the appointment of a director of infectious diseases was required to focus on manoeuvring TT through this impending threat.
