Africa-Press – Cape verde. The Judiciary Police already have under their control the human bones found this Tuesday afternoon, 14th, in the basement of the old health center in the Craveiro Lopes neighborhood, in Praia. According to the health department, the corpse, whose sex has not yet been defined, was in a complete state of decomposition.
In statements to Rádio de Cabo Verde, quoted by Inforpress, Praia’s health delegate, Ulardina Furtado, said that the alert was given to the Health Department by the head of the carnival group Vindos de África, from the Craveiro Lopes neighborhood.
“We actually have a set of bones belonging to a corpse, at this moment it is not possible to say whether they are male or female. It looks like they are male, but for that we have to do an assessment, ”she said.
Investigation
According to the same source, the corpse was in a state of total decomposition, so the hypotheses cannot be raised without complying with the investigation processes.
“What is certain is that we found these bones placed inside boxes and bags and we will also have to know the time, if they were transported from one place to another”, he added.
The same source advanced that the Judiciary Police should, however, clarify whether the investigation will be carried out by national or foreign experts.
The former space of the Achadinha Health Centre, located in Bairro Craveiro Lopes, in the city of Praia, and inaugurated in January 2009, was deactivated in October 2017 to receive correction works, since the building had problems in its structure .
The space was provided “provisionally” in 2019 by the Praia Health Department to the Vindos d’África carnival group to host cultural activities.
