The body found along the Eccles dumpsite road on Saturday has been identified as Angela Andrea Sooknanan, a patient with a mental illness. Police Headquarters reported that Angela’s father, Romel Sooknanan identified her on Tuesday.
“Information received from the father indicates that Angela Andrea Sooknanan was of unsound mind,” Police said.
She last visited her doctor on Thursday, August 8 where she was treated for her illness.
The next day, she asked her mother, Charlotte Sooknanan, for money to go to Diamond. Her body was later found in the trench at Eccles industrial site.
Angela was discovered face-down in the trench. Police said she was clad in long black tights, a grey armless top, and one-side slippers. Notably, her face was swollen, and what appeared to be a mixture of blood and water was observed flowing from the nostrils.
Upon examination by a Crime Scene Investigator (CSI) at the site, no visible marks of violence were detected on the body.
