COPS RULE DEATH OF MARIO DANIEL HOMICIDE

St. Croix police on Saturday identified skeletal remains found on the Campo Rico beach in Frederiksted as those of Mario Daniel, who was reported missing in February. Police have classified the death as a homicide.
Deputy Police Chief Novelle Francis told the Source that a forensics investigation revealed signs of foul play.
"The comparison of dental records with the facial skeletal remains led detectives to positively identify the results as those of Mr. Daniels," Francis added. The remains were discovered on June 12.
Francis was expected to release a formal statement with further details later on Saturday.
Police have asked anyone with information to contact homicide investigators at 778-2211, extensions 4535, 4508 or the emergency number 911.
