The coastguard of St Kitts and Nevis found 13 decomposing bodies in a drifting boat, days after uncovering five bodies in a skiff near Trinidad and Tobago. The police deputy commissioner mentioned that the bodies were in an advanced state of decomposition and could not identify any victims. Investigations are underway, and the incidents might be linked to ongoing migrant crises, given a resemblance to a previous case where a similar vessel contained 15 bodies that had drifted from Africa. The situation highlights the alarming dangers faced by migrants in these waters.
Cromwell Henry, deputy commissioner of St Kitts and Nevis police, stated the discovery of the 13 bodies was alarming, highlighting the escalating migrant crisis in the Caribbean region.
The Trinidadian coast guard revealed a striking similarity between the recent skiff and a vessel found in 2021, underscoring persistent issues related to migrant smuggling across the Atlantic.
