The Police Administration has confirmed that based on forensic analysis, the decomposed body discovered in Swetes in March of this year has been positively identified as that of 37-year-old Keon Richards of Yorks.
Richards was first reported missing in early March after he was last seen on or around February 26.
His mother recalled speaking with him approximately one week prior to his disappearance.
Following the report, several search operations were conducted by the police, with the assistance of members of the public; however, those efforts proved unsuccessful.
At approximately 5:00 p.m. on March 11, the decomposed body of a male was discovered in the backyard of an unoccupied property in Swetes.
Forensic samples were collected and subsequently sent overseas for DNA analysis. The results have since confirmed the identity of the deceased as Keon Richards.
Acting Commissioner of Police Everton Jeffers, along with other senior officers, recently met with members of Richards’ family and provided them with an update on the investigation.
During that meeting, Acting Commissioner Jeffers assured the family of the police’s commitment to bringing justice in this matter and stated that the case is now being treated as a homicide investigation.
The police are appealing to anyone who may have information surrounding the disappearance and subsequent death of Keon Richards to contact the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913 or call the anonymous Crimestoppers hotline at 800-TIPS (8477).

One closure for the family. Amen… rip
The public is asking you to beg for help by way of the English Scotland Yard. Don’t we have an Ambassador or High Commissioner in England to make presentations on our behalf.
Weren’t we promised Scotland Yard since the death of the two young ladies and earlier disappearances?
Probably if those promises were kept they would have been on the ground and could have already solved or prevented our murders/ crimes .
It’s sad but at least his body was found and identified.
I hope he gets justice.
You are now fully aware it wasn’t Pasco but it is someone who has gone missing just as Pasco…. Where is the lady from Potters that went missing years ago, and where are the others that went missing before and after pasco?
So it wasn’t Passo? So where is Passo.
So what was the cause of death? More details needed
Autopsy needs to be performed. What was the cause of death?
So the question resurfaces, where is Passo?
