The body was that of a white male, about six-feet tall, aged 20 to 25, with dreadlocks and tattoos on his left leg.
\n
\nThe discovery marks the year’s eighth murder and an intense investigation is underway. Many suspect that the death may be drug related.
\n
\nPolice were unable to provide a full description or even determine the sex of the the body when it was first found, because it was wrapped so tightly in duct tape. The body was laetr taken to Nassau for examination.
\n
\nThe head and much of the body was wrapped in duct tape, which strapped the arms to the sides and the legs together. The body was bound with a chain fastened by a large lock and weighted by a cement block tied to the legs with a rope.
<\/p>\n
The body was floating on the water about 90 feet below ground level in a very deep 150-feet wide blue hole known as Owl’s Cave.
