The worst fears of the farmers were realised some time after midday when the carcasses were found.

They subsequently alerted the police.

When THE STAR contacted the Clarendon police last night, an investigator said the police believe the the donkey meat will now be sold and passed off as meat for consumption.

The inspector said; "we are advising persons to be extra careful when buying meat."

The police also said that investigations are now ongoing as they try to find those responsible.
