The body was found on a dirt road in the Faith Avenue south area, police said.

Police said they were alerted to the discovery on a dirt road in the area of Bone Fish Pond shortly after 4am.

Meanwhile, police are also seeking the public’s assistance in locating two men who entered a home in the area of Soldier Road and sexually assaulted a woman on Friday.
