Police Tuesday said they are investigating the suspected suspected murder-suicide of two employees of a guest house in the capital.
They have identified the victims as 31 year old housekeeper, whose only name given so far is Loriann and Cyril Saul, a 36-year-old security guard.
‘Preliminary enquiries revealed that both individuals were employed at the said guest house and were the only staff members on duty during the overnight period. Investigations further disclosed that the two were previously involved in an intimate relationship which reportedly ended approximately two months ago,’ the police said in a statement.
It said that the police had responded to a call and discovered the female lying motionless in one of the rooms with visible injuries, while the male was found unresponsive in a separate room. Both individuals were pronounced dead at the scene by a doctor on duty from the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
The police said that several items, including a firearm, ammunition, a knife and a quantity of ‘a suspected substance’ were recovered at the scene and secured for forensic examination. ‘CCTV footage from the premises was reviewed and is forming part of the ongoing investigation. Several persons have since been contacted and questioned,’ the police statement added.
