After nearly three years of uncertainty, DNA testing has confirmed that human remains discovered at Pigeon Point Beach in 2024 belong to 33-year-old Schneik Phillip, who had been reported missing since 2023.
The Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF) confirmed the identification on Wednesday, after receiving DNA analysis results.
Phillip was reported missing to the Babonneau Police Station in November 2023. On August 1, 2024, police went to the vicinity of Pigeon Point Beach in Gros Islet after human remains were discovered.
The remains were recovered and submitted for DNA testing to establish the identity of the deceased.
Investigators received the DNA results on September 11, confirming that the remains were those of Phillip.
Police have not disclosed the circumstances surrounding Phillip’s disappearance or death but say investigations remain ongoing.
The RSLPF has extended condolences to Phillip’s family and loved ones and is appealing to anyone with information that could assist investigators to come forward.
