Police are investigating a suspected murder-suicide after the bodies of two employees were discovered Tuesday morning at a guest house on Lime Street, Wortmanville, Georgetown.
The dead have been identified as Loriann (only name given so far), a 31-year-old housekeeper whose address remains unknown, and Cyril Saul, a 36-year-old security guard of Lime Street, Wortmanville.
According to preliminary enquiries, both individuals worked at the guest house and were the only staff members on duty during the overnight shift. Investigators further reported that the two were previously involved in an intimate relationship, which reportedly ended about two months ago.
Police said ranks responded to the scene sometime between 05:00 hrs and 08:15 hrs and found the woman lying motionless in one of the rooms with visible injuries. The man was found unresponsive in a separate room. A doctor from the Georgetown Public Hospital pronounced both dead at the scene.
Several items, including a firearm, ammunition, a knife, and a quantity of a suspected “poisonous” substance, were recovered and secured for forensic examination. Police also reviewed CCTV footage from the premises, which is now forming part of the investigation. Several individuals have since been contacted and questioned.
The bodies were escorted to the Memorial Funeral Parlour Mortuary, where they are awaiting post-mortem examinations as investigations continue.
