Oliver had been reported missing since the previous Friday. His body was discovered inside a barrel on a farm in the Bendals area. Investigators said his hands were bound, but the exact circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear.

Family members were called in to help identify the body. No motive has yet been established for the killing.

Oliver is the sixth person to be murdered in Antigua and Barbuda this year.
