Philipsburg:--- The body of an unidentified man was found by firefighters late Saturday evening while the firemen were busy putting out a bush fire in Hope Estate.
Police Spokesman Ricardo Henson confirmed on Sunday that firemen found the body when they were almost finished putting out the fire. Henson said the body that was found is a male but he was burnt beyond recognition.
Henson further explained that someone already contacted the police and indicated that their relative has been missing, but the detectives were unable to follow up to see if the body that was burnt in the bush fire Saturday night is that of the missing person.
Several calls to Chief Prosecutor Hans Mos went unanswered on Sunday as SMN News was trying to find out if there are indications that a homicide has been committed.
