The May Pen police have ruled out murder as the possible cause of the death of the two siblings found dead in the trunk of a 2001 Daewoo motor car at their home in Bushy Park Clarendon on August 8.

The death of Treco Lewin, eight, and his sister Lautavia, five, is being treated as a case of sudden death.

This came after a post-mortem, conducted by government pathologist Dr Charles Brennan at the Johnson and Son funeral home in Clarendon, last Friday, revealed the children died from suffocation.

Police have reported that about 10:30 a.m., the children were left home unsupervised by family members. On return of their grandmother at 2 p.m., the children could not be found.

Other family members were summoned and a report was made to the May Pen police. A search was carried out and the bodies of the two were found shortly before 8 p.m. in the trunk of a car in the yard. They were removed and taken to the May Pen Hospital where they were pronounced dead.
