Bikanace says she was crossing the Vesida Bridge and noticed a male corpse lying facing down in the creek.

“The children were playing in the creek and I was standing across the bridge when I noticed an odd object which looked like the backside of a man in the river. So I asked one of the boys to go and check it and he said it was a man. Then we called the Police.”

Another eyewitness, Rekha Mani says this is not the first time a body has been found in this creek.

“I’ve been staying here for about nine years now and this is the fourth body that has been found in this river. It’s very scary.”

Police are requesting information to help identify the man.

Crime officers were dispatched to the scene to uplift the victim’s body.

A post mortem will be composed to ascertain the cause of death as investigation continue.

Anyone who is able to assist in identifying the victim is kindly requested to call Crimestoppers on 919 or the Southern Division Command Center on 9905529.
