Autopsy confirms murder-suicide

AN AUTOPSY on the body of Savitri Ramkissoon confirmed that she died from strangulation, not ingestion of poison.

The report confirmed detectives’ theory that Ramkissoon’s lover, who was also her brother-in-law, Kamal Mohammed, strangled her in a bedroom before hanging himself from the doorway of his house at Partap Trace, South Oropouche, on Thursday.  Relatives of the deceased speculated that the deaths may have been a result of a suicide pact since a greenish substance resembling a weedicide was found on Ramkissoon’s blouse. Mohammed was discovered hanging in his house on Thursday by his son, Ryan, who alerted relatives. Only after authorities were called in was Ramkissoon’s body found in a bedroom.  Both funerals have been tentatively scheduled for today.
