Body Found In Grenada, But Police Have Not Linked It To Missing Canadian

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 11 Dec, 2015 10:44 AM
    ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada — Police in Grenada say they have found the partially decomposed body of a person in a field on the south side of the small Caribbean island, but they do not know if it is related to their investigation of the disappearance of a New Brunswick woman.
     
    Assistant Supt. Sylvan McIntyre of the Royal Grenada Police Force says they do not have a positive identification of the body, and he couldn't say whether the family of Linnea Veinotte has been notified.
     
    Police were questioning a 26-year-old man who turned himself in after being wanted in connection with the disappearance of Veinotte, who was reported missing Sunday after she went for a walk with the family dog around 7 a.m.
     
    McIntyre said Akim Frank of Jean Anglais in the island's capital of St. George's walked into the police station early today.
     
    On Thursday, police recovered a dark grey SUV about 10 to 16 kilometres from where Veinotte was last seen.
     
    Police have said a witness saw Veinotte, a 36-year-old mother of two young children, early Sunday morning with her dog Nico in the neighbourhood of L'Anse aux Epines.
     
    Police have said witnesses reported hearing a loud bang and seeing a vehicle drive quickly away from the area.
     
    They say officers found blood at the scene near where her dog was discovered lying on the side of the road after being struck by a car.
     
    McIntyre said they did not have information to suggest Veinotte was hit by the car as well.
     
    They also said a black bandana, sunglasses and broken glass were found at the site.
