ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada –Grenada’s ecumenical organisation which has been leading the search for the remains of Maurice Bishop and his cabinet colleagues said today that bones discovered by forensic anthropologists in the public cemetery here were not those of the prime minister and other cabinet colleagues, slain in a palace coup 28 years ago.

“The group found remains, they found bones, but they were easily identified as not belonging to those who were shot on the fort that day,” said Father Seon Doggett, spokesman for the Grenada Conference of Churches (GCC) which is leading the project to solve the mystery of what happened to the bodies of Bishop who along with an unknown number of civilians were executed at the army's headquarters, Fort Rupert, now named Fort George.
