The police say the head of a man found along the roadway in Whitney Turn, Porus in Manchester on Thursday, was that of 35-year-old Rohan Barrett.
The police say Barrett, a labourer of Old Porus district in Manchester, had eluded them since February.
He was wanted for the offences of burglary and rape.
The Mandeville police say about 6:30 a.m., a farmer was making his way to a shop when he observed a shopping bag, which appeared to be covered in blood, and contacted the police.
The lawmen visited the scene and saw the head of a male in the bag. It was positively identified by a relative.
The body has not been found.
Investigations are ongoing.
