The remains of at least 50 infants and six adults have been dumped at a graveyard in Trinidad and Tobago, police say.

The country's police service (TTPS) said in a statement that the bodies were found in the town of Cumuto, about 40km (25 miles) from the capital Port of Spain on Trinidad - one of the two islands forming the Caribbean nation.

A preliminary investigation showed it may be a case of an "unlawful disposal of unclaimed corpses", it added.

It is unclear if the incident is linked to gang violence in the country with one of the highest murder rates in Latin America and the Caribbean.
