The man kidnapped in Malabar Arima on Wednesday night was beheaded at the Heights of Guanapo in Arima.
Uncutt News Media can confirm that the semi-decomposing body of a man found off a precipice at the Heights of Guanapo earlier this morning is that of 31-year-old Joel Caleb.
Caleb, of Richard Lane off Tumpuna Road, Malabar, Arima, was abducted by four men who intercepted his vehicle while using a blue swivel light affixed to theirs.
Relatives, we were reliably informed, confirmed the deceased is Caleb by his clothing and shoes.
However, Caleb's head has not been found. On Thursday, Uncutt News Media exclusively posted CCTV footage that showed the moment Caleb was snatched by the suspects who also took his Nissan Almera motor car.
See Uncutt's Initial Story:
Kidnapped by suspects pretending to be police: Police are searching for an Arima man who was kidnapped by four men pretending they were police officers on Wednesday 26th April 2023.
The kidnapped victim, Uncutt News was told, has been identified as Joel Caleb of Richard Trace, Tumpuna Road, Malabar, Arima.
Around 8:30 pm last night, Caleb was driving a silver Nissan Tiida motorcar Reg. No. PDJ 6187 along Pereira Lane off Richard Trace, when his vehicle was pulled over by a red Nissan X-Trail Reg. No. PCD 4647.
The car had a blue flashing light affixed on the dashboard.
Three men, one armed with a gun, emerged and pulled Joel from his vehicle, and placed him into their SUV. One of the suspects entered the victim's car and they drove off.
A report was subsequently made to the police ad officers of the Northern Division responded and began investigations.
They subsequently notified their colleagues at the Anti-Kidnapping Unit about Joel's abduction. PC Nicholas of the Arima CID is probing the incident.
