Criminal investigations in Mauritius and Guinea

Overview

In Mauritius, police have launched an investigation following the discovery of human remains, including a skull, in a residential garden in Quatre-Bornes. The remains were found on August 16 by a resident during excavation work. Forensic experts are conducting post-mortem analyses, with preliminary findings suggesting the remains may have been at the location for more than two years.

In Guinea, authorities are investigating the decapitation of a man named Mory Soumaré in the Salamani district of Kankan. His body was discovered in a gutter under a footbridge, and officials noted his head was missing from the scene. The victim’s wife stated he left home on a Monday night after receiving a phone call and entered a vehicle with one or more individuals. The motive and the identity of the perpetrators remain unknown.
