Out of the loop

THE SHOOTING DEATH of Michael Mapp has left his family reeling in shock, but his older brother is seething with anger at the “sneaky” disposal of his body in a shallow grave in Bayfield, St Philip.

The decomposing body of the 42-year-old, who went missing on May 18, was found in a cane field on May 24, and a post mortem has since revealed that he died from gunshot wounds.

Michael’s brother Dennis Mapp, of Blades Hill, St Philip, told the MIDWEEK NATION yesterday he was not handling the situation well. He also said he was not happy with the failure of the Royal Barbados Police Force to inform him about the autopsy.

“I feel out of the loop, and I [am] family,” he said. (MR)
