Berbice: A man committed suicide after killing his wife and daughter at Glasgow, East Bank Berbice Wednesday morning. His body was found hanging under an abandoned house in the area.
Dead are Bindomattie Seetaram, 38, her daughter Aneela Khan, and the man who allegedly killed them and then took his own life, Jairnarine Seetaram.
It is still unclear as to what might have the suspect to commit such a gruesome crime, since neighbours claimed that he was a quiet individual.
Reports indicate that the husband and wife had a misunderstanding at which time the man armed himself with a hammer and dealt the woman several lashes to the head, thereafter he armed himself with a knife and stabbed her to death.
After hearing the commotion in the lower flat of the house, the daughter and her 12-year-old brother who were in the upper flat ran downstairs to intervene during which the daughter was attacked by the suspect and hit several times about the head and body.
The son however, escaped to his grandmother’s house, neighbour then summoned the police.
Commander of ‘B’ Division, Lyndon Alves said that police were able to recover both murder weapons.
He said the bloodstained hammer was found in the yard where the murder took place while the knife was found at the abandoned house where the suspect took his life.
