WESTMORELAND, Jamaica— The mother of the siblings who are seen in a viral video on social media being buried in a shallow grave have confirmed that they are her children.

According to the police, 20-year-old Kerrick Moodie and 22-year-old Keneisha Moodie, a brother and sister of Grange Hill district, Westmoreland had been missing since Friday, December 8.

Their mother, Stephany, said in an interview on Sunday afternoon that she saw the viral video and having used physical markings, she can confirm that those are her children.

“Yesterday in the after two [pm] somebody send mi a picture seh dem see it on social media weh dem a bury dem and mi see seh a dem,” the distraught mother told Observer Online.

The mother said her children called her on Friday telling her to pick up $10,000 at a cook shop and that they are going to pick up a package.

She is pleading with the public to assist her in locating where they are buried, so she can get their bodies.

The viral video on social media shows the bodies of a female and male in a grave with what appears to be blood stains on their clothes and a man using a shovel to throw dirt on them.

Reports from the Black River Police are that about 7:15 am Kerrick and Keneisha were last seen leaving a cook shop in Grange Hill in the parish. Their mode of dress at the time they went missing is unknown and they have not been seen since.
