BURNT REMAINS, BELIEVED to be those of the Montego Bay couple who were abducted from their home on Saturday, were found in their stolen car near Ironshore, St. James, yesterday.
The police reportedly received an anonymous call directing them to the location at Home Hill Road where the charred remains were discovered.
'The bodies were burnt beyond recognition,' said Detective Inspector Paul Bernard of the Montego Bay Criminal Investigation Branch. "There was an outline of a body on the left front passenger seat and that of another person on the back seat."
A pathologist was called in to conduct an on-the-spot post mortem on the remains, which will be sent to the government forensic laboratory for further analysis to confirm the identities.
The couple, mechanic Dwight 'Rohan' Gray, 35, and businesswoman Hercent James-Richards, who operated a retail clothes business, a hairdressing parlour and an auto-mechanic business that Gray managed, was reportedly kidnapped by five armed men, allegedly posing as policemen, from their home in Hendon, Montego Bay about 9:30 p.m.
They were at home with five children, three of their own including a 23 month-old baby, when the incident occurred. The children were not harmed.
