While many have concluded that the three persons who were found in Parafait/Harmonie died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning, the police are awaiting the test results to prove this.
On Friday, a post mortem examination performed on the remains of 54-year-old Verbina Garraway, her seven-year-old grandson, Orette Garraway, and her daughter, Abiola Josiah, 24, are all inconclusive.
In the meantime, samples have been taken for further testing to confirm that the three died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning.
The trio died some time between Monday evening and Tuesday. They all moved into the incomplete house at Parfait/Harmonie, West Bank Demerara, on Monday. That evening, Garraway invited the leader of her church, Reverend Chichester, to offer thanks to God for their lives and for blessing them with a new home.
On Tuesday morning, the construction workers who were completing the house, received no answer to their calls and left. All the doors and windows were closed.
The house has no ventilation other than through the doors and windows when these are open.
When Josiah’s fiancé and her friends tried to contact her on Tuesday, there was still no response. On Wednesday morning, the construction workers returned; again there was still no response to their calls. However, there was a smell of gasoline, and upon further investigation, a grass cutter who was nearby decided to break the bedroom window and made the gruesome discovery.
