Exactly one week after the body of a male was pulled from a 30-foot well in Exchange Hill, the family of missing man Mitchell Nicholls has confirmed his death on social media.
In a brief message posted on Facebook, the management and staff of the family-owned Nicholls Bakery said it was deeply hurt and saddened by the loss of their 28-year-old loved one who was described as a son, brother, co-worker, family member, and friend.
“At this moment, there is an active investigation and we have placed this in the hands of our local authorities and pray that justice will be served,” the brief notice said.
The family said it will announce the date and time of funeral arrangements as it expressed its gratitude to well-wishers and relevant authorities for the outpouring of love, support and sympathy during this period.
Last Friday, a body was recovered from a well near Bibby’s Lane, St Michael. Police are yet to officially confirm the identity.
Mitchell, who lived at Apartment A, West Coast Apartments Hotel, Pond Bottom, Westmoreland, St James, was reported missing on December 23.
The son of the late McDonald Nicholls had received the Silver Trident of Excellence in the National Independence Honours for his role in the design of academic and national insignia, including the Order of the Freedom of Barbados. (SD)
