“My investigators are working to establish who they are and how they were killed,” Providenciales Police Commissioner Trevor Botting said.

So far, they argue that the ship did not have the Turks and Caicos Islands as its final destination and that it was a foreigner.

Turks and Caicos is a key destination for many Haitians trying to escape the poverty of their country, but it is also a place used as a transshipment point by human traffickers.

“Whatever the circumstances, this is a tragic situation in which many people have lost their lives and the thoughts and prayers of the Force are with the families who have lost a loved one. We will do all we can to identify them and contact their families, ”Botting added.
