A man's body was discovered over the weekend inside a well, situated on a plot of land about 10 kilometers from the town of Francisco May. An elderly local resident reported the grim discovery to the municipal police station last Friday, shortly before 8 pm.
The 77-year-old man told police that he had found the body when he went to draw water from the well for his plants. Due to the late hour and the distance to the site, police decided to investigate the report on Saturday morning. They interviewed the landowner, who pointed out the exact location of the well.
On reaching the spot, the police were hit by a foul smell. They confirmed that a man's body was indeed inside the well, which was over three meters deep. The National Guard and personnel from the State Attorney's office were called to the scene. They arranged for the body to be moved to the Forensic Medical Service (Semefo), where it is currently unidentified.
