And while the new ComPol wasn't fielding any other questions today - and an unprecedented two question limit with no follow ups was imposed on the media, the Eastern Division OC spoke to us about the body that was found along the George Price Boulevard yesterday.

According to ACP Hilberto Romero, the police haven't confirmed the identity of the body as yet.

ACP Hilberto Romero, OCED
"We suspect it is the missing person, Moises Garbutt. We have to conduct DNA test to confirm that since the body is decomposed. Information is that he was at the birthday party with several other persons. Thereafter, he left in an SUV with three persons. And therefore, he was reported missing. Investigation to this report continues."
