THE DISCOVERIES of a decapitated body in Port-of-Spain and a body tied to an offshore platform are techniques used in the drug “game” and locally drug pushers have been eliminating each other in a move to seize power in a “new order”.
This was the view of local criminologist Darius Figuera in response to the discovery of the dismembered body of Nathan Maraj on Wednesday.
His head was found in a dumpster in Quarry Street and his body later in an abandoned BMW on Duncan Street. In the past five years there have been 11 decapitations, 18 from 1997 to present.

Figuera noted he was much more interested in the body found at the platform as this is a technique called “feeding the fishes”.
He explained they put weights on the body so it submerge to allow the fishes to feed and the goal is to have the fishes feed on the face.
“It sends a message and it is usually done by traffickers as a message of what will be done to informers,” he noted.
He said the feeding the fishes technique is done by Columbians, Mexicans and also the American mafia. He pointed out that since the body was attached to the platform the perpetrators wanted it to be found.

He believes that it is tied into what has been going on in the drug game.
