So they are demolishing a building in Morant Bay, St Thomas, Jamaica

The building went up in the 1600s, it was known as the old Loyal James Lodge building,
Well at first they found skeleton remains of three. Latest news says up to seven skulls now.

Workers employed to the St Thomas Municipal Corporation have discovered at least three more skulls and other skeletal remains at the old Loyal James Lodge building today.

This brings to seven, the number of skulls found so far.

Details on the latest discovery are still being sought.

The demolition exercise started on Sunday but was quickly halted after the first three sets of human remains were found in the building, which is located across from the Morant Bay Police Station.

I bet the archaeologists and historians are running a betting pool. Arawak?, Spanish?, African?, English?, or everything in between?

What a devious place to hide the bodies so that your crimes will not be discovered for 400 years.
