An update is coming today that sheds light on the identity of a severed human head found off Minerals Road in Conception Bay South in 2001.
The identity of the man was unknown for years, despite numerous appeals from police and at least two forensic facial reconstructions.
Genetic genealogy proved the deciding factor, and the man’s identify, which remained a mystery for 23 years and has finally been revealed.
The remains belong to a Cuban man, identified by the Fifth Estate as Temestocle Casas.
RNC Constable James Cadigan will meet with media this morning at 11:30 a.m.
VOCM News will be there.
