HGP Nightly News – Police have recovered the burnt remains of a man at Phase Three, Wisroc, Linden, and investigators believe the body may be that of Jamal Bourne, also known as “Skinny,” who was wanted in relation to several serious criminal offences.
The remains were found on Wednesday morning. Sources say the body was burnt beyond recognition, and body parts were scattered in the area.Sources close to the investigation also said the man who appeared in a recent livestream alongside Bourne is cooperating with police.
Investigators have reportedly seized several illegal firearms, and six people are currently in custody as enquiries continue. Bourne drew widespread attention just days ago after appearing in a live broadcast with another man.
In that video, the pair were seen openly displaying cutlasses, knives and what appeared to be high-powered firearms, while threats were reportedly issued toward people described as enemies.
At one stage, Bourne was also seen playing Russian roulette.Moments later, a loud gunshot was heard and Bourne collapsed on camera. The livestream ended abruptly shortly after.
Before that incident, Bourne had also appeared on television denying allegations against him, following the release of a police wanted bulletin.
With remains now recovered in Linden, police are examining the viral video and matching it against forensic findings as they seek to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the death.
